If your property suffered total or partial destruction, or was damaged by soot and ash, we will collaborate with our rebuilding, repair, arborist, and appraisal specialists to precisely assess the damage. This ensures we pursue the maximum compensation possible on your behalf
Typically in California you have two years from the date of the wildfire to file a personal injury lawsuit or property damage lawsuit.
Yes, many wildfire victims submit an insurance claim and, if needed, pursue legal action against utilities or insurance companies.
You pay nothing up front; we only get paid if we win your case. At Beverly Wilshire Law Group we work on a contingency fee basis. Our fee is a percentage of the compensation we secure for you.
Inverse condemnation enables you to claim compensation without proving negligence if a utility company’s infrastructure, such as power lines, caused a wildfire on your property. This strict liability approach is commonly used in wildfire claims involving utilities.
Insurance companies often make "low" offers initially to minimize their total payouts. When you have a lawyer on your side you can push the insurance fora more fair settlement and/or file claims.
Absolutely. Even if your property wasn’t directly affected by fire, smoke and ash can harm your belongings and HVAC systems. Most homeowners’ insurance policies allow you to claim these damages separately.
This covers a wide range of items, including everyday household goods, vehicles, treasured possessions, family heirlooms, unique items, and collectibles. While some losses are irreplaceable, our personal property experts will assist you in cataloging everything to strengthen our advocacy for your claim
- Damage to property
- Costs for smoke cleanup
- Extra living expenses
- Losses from business interruption
- Emotional distress and loss of property use
Definitely! Like homeowners, renters can seek compensation for damaged personal items, relocation expenses, and injuries.
Important records to keep includes:
- Photos or videos taken right after the fire and during reconstruction
- Receipts for temporary housing, repairs, or storage costs
- Records of cleanup or restoration services
- Reports from experts
If you experienced emotional distress while fleeing from rapidly spreading wildfires or sheltering in place, we deeply sympathize with your ordeal. Similarly, you may be grappling with emotional pain after the fire due to the loss of possessions, your way of life, and cherished places that are no longer accessible, which the law recognizes as “nuisance.” We strongly recommend seeking counseling or medical support if you’re struggling emotionally. Keeping a diary of your daily activities and emotions since the fire can also be helpful. We will include a claim for the emotional distress you’ve endured as part of your case
Important questions to ask include: “Does my policy cover wildfire smoke, embers, and soot?”, “Is my coverage based on Replacement Cost Value?”, and “What is the extent of my Additional Living Expense (ALE) coverage?”
Insurance claims should be submitted “promptly” (review your policy, but usually within weeks). For lawsuits against insurers or utilities, California law typically allows two years from the date of the fire.
