Southern California has been devastated by a series of deadly wildfires, including the Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, and Palisades Fire. These fires have led to more than 150,000 evacuations, widespread property destruction, and the tragic loss of at least 24 lives, with the death toll expected to rise. The financial impact has been catastrophic, with estimated losses already reaching $250 billion. As the fires continue to burn, families, homeowners, farmers, and business owners remain displaced, facing overwhelming emotional and financial challenges.

Allegations of Negligence Against Southern California Edison (SCE)
Multiple lawsuits have already been filed against Southern California Edison (SCE) alleging gross negligence related to the deadly Eaton Fire. Plaintiffs argue that SCE failed to properly maintain its electrical infrastructure and neglected to clear flammable vegetation near its powerlines. Furthermore, despite red flag wind warnings issued before the fire, SCE allegedly failed to de-energize its powerlines, which some claim directly contributed to the fire's ignition.
Evidence presented in recent lawsuits includes photographs, video footage, and witness accounts showing flames originating from SCE’s power transmission towers. Plaintiffs also claim that over 300 electrical faults were detected in SCE’s lines just before the fire ignited. Legal claims filed against the utility seek compensation for property loss, personal injury, wrongful death, and financial hardship under California’s inverse condemnation laws.
