Wildfire Litigation

Wildfires are sadly becoming increasingly common each year as the effects of climate change and population growth intensify. Thousands of people throughout the country are forced to evacuate their homes each year due to the threat of wildfires. These natural disasters not only cause the loss of a home, but often can cause serious injuries and death.

At Crowley Norman LLP, we are dedicated to helping people recover and rebuild after a wildfire ravages their community. Our lawyers represented hundreds of victims in the 2018 Woolsey and Camp Fire cases in California.  We currently represent dozens more victims of the Maui wildfires that devastated the historic town of Lahaina. We have vast experience representing hundreds of wildfire victims whose houses or apartments burned down, and who suffered business losses, paid for expensive evacuations, and suffered injury or death. Unfortunately, many homeowners’ insurance policies do not provide adequate coverage to make homeowners whole, making it imperative that all wrongful parties associated with creating the wildfire risk are identified and held accountable. 

Moreover, the loss of real and personal property is often only the beginning of wildfire victims’ misery.  Many people believe they are properly insured, only to learn, when tragedy strikes, that they are not, or that they lack the wherewithal to fight with an insurer that is undervaluing their claim. Too often, these victims are left to deal with the attendant bad faith claims-adjusting practices of their homeowner insurance company that leave them frustrated, confused, and ultimately underpaid. 

That is when we step in to help. Wildfires can cause more than just property damage and you should be compensated for all your losses – physical, emotional, and financial.  At Crowley Norman LLP, our attorneys have the experience and knowledge to obtain the recovery you deserve.
