Filing an Eaton Fire Lawsuit: What can wildfire survivors recover through a lawsuit against Southern California Edison?
California residents' legal claim against SCE may include:
- emotional distress
- displacement expenses
- cost of rebuilding your home
- physical injuries
- personal property loss
- increased rent & businesses loss
A lawsuit against SCE allows homeowners and renters to seek compensation for losses that are not covered by insurance or underinsured.

Evidence Points to SCE: Our Eaton Fire Lawsuit Holds SCE Accountable
“A growing body of evidence is emerging that suggests the fire started in the dry grasses below a set of transmissions towers carrying high-enery power lines.
The lines were buffeted that evening by winds that at times reached 100 miles per hour.”
-The New York Times
Our Eaton Fire lawsuit alleges that SCE prioritized profits over safety in failing to inspect and maintain its infrastructure and manage its power transmission lines during a period of high fire danger. Plaintiffs allege that this failure ultimately caused the Eaton Fire to ignite in the hills of Eaton Canyon, near Altadena, CA.
Significant evidence demonstrates that SCE equipment likely caused the Eaton Fire, which destroyed or damaged over 10,000 structures. Hold SCE accountable today by filing an Eaton Fire Lawsuit.
Video evidence shows sparks and flames erupting at the base of a Southern California Edison electrical tower in Eaton Canyon on January 7th, the same day that the Eaton Fire started, according to the New York Times.
Why is it important to speak to a lawyer about filing an Eaton Fire Lawsuit?
“During the most terrifying and distressing moments of my life your above the call-of-duty diligence was a Godsend with the end result exceeding all expectation.”
– R.R., Corey Gibbs Fire Lawyers Client
The steps and actions you take in the aftermath of the fire can affect your legal rights and ability to file a claim. Our goal is to support survivors in understanding their legal rights moving forward.
Because Eaton Fire lawsuits are individual lawsuits and not a class action, individuals need to actually file a lawsuit in order to pursue legal claims against Southern California Edison. Anyone interested in filing an Eaton Fire lawsuit should talk to an attorney about their options.
Our team works with our clients to detail all losses related to the Eaton Fire and gather supporting information and documents that will be necessary to the success of their case. We can also help navigate wrongful death claims for families who have lost loved ones.
