Amanda Riddle
Corey Gibbs Fire Lawyers’ Amanda Riddle is one of three attorneys serving as liaison counsel on behalf of individual plaintiffs in the Eaton Fire litigation, which seeks to hold SCE accountable for causing the fire. The judge appointed the liaison counsel following the March 17th case management conference. As liaison counsel, Amanda will serve as one of the primary spokespersons for fire survivors and will coordinate with all parties involved in the case.
Amanda Riddle frequently speaks on panels and at events on fire survivors’ legal rights. She currently represents survivors of the Eaton Fire in their claims against SCE, and counsels survivors of the Palisades Fire.
Amanda also currently represents approximately 6,000 victims of the 2015 Butte Fire, 2017 North Bay Fires, and 2018 Camp Fire, which were each started by PG&E. PG&E filed bankruptcy in January 2019, bringing the wildfire victim claims into the bankruptcy proceeding. Amanda leads various aspects of the litigation and was a member of the team that negotiated a $13.5B settlement for these wildfire victims. She also serves on the oversight committee that oversees the trust that holds and disperses those settlement funds.

Amanda’s experience includes the representation of 45 families who fell victim to the explosion of PG&E’s natural gas transmission line in San Bruno, California, on September 9, 2010. Amanda served as court-appointed co-liaison counsel in the litigation. In 2013, Amanda was selected as a finalist for the Consumer Attorneys of California’s Woman Advocate of the Year Award for her exemplary work on the PG&E case.
