Eaton Fire Victims – The Deadline to File a Lawsuit Against Edison is Approaching
June 2, 2026
The deadline to file an Eaton Fire lawsuit with Corey Gibbs Fire Lawyers is approaching. If your home was lost or damaged in the fire, your potential money recovery for harms suffered could dramatically decrease once this deadline passes.
Speak With Our Team
If you have been thinking about whether to pursue a lawsuit against Edison, now is the time to speak with a lawyer.
Why do I need to file a lawsuit by the end of the year?
The deadline to file a lawsuit is called the statute of limitations (SOL) and it is important because it dictates how long individuals or families have to take legal action against Edison for harms related to the Eaton Fire.
Once the deadline passes, you may lose the right to file a lawsuit all together.
When does the statute of limitations expire for Eaton Fire survivors?
The ability to file a lawsuit for a subset of claims expires on January 7th, 2027. After this date, any potential recovery could be significantly less. It is important that you contact a lawyer prior to the deadline because it will take some time to file your case.
Don’t wait to file.
If you wait too long, you may lose your chance to file a lawsuit entirely. If you are unsure about what claims you may have, our team can help you understand your options.
