Utility company negligence can lead to devastating consequences, including wildfires, property destruction, and severe personal injuries. When utility companies fail to maintain equipment, follow safety standards, or take preventive measures, their negligence can cause catastrophic damage to homes, businesses, and entire communities. If you’ve suffered losses due to a utility company’s negligence, you need an attorney who will hold them accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Across California, utility company negligence has been linked to some of the most destructive wildfires and disasters in recent history. Power line failures, improper maintenance of electrical grids, and failure to clear vegetation around equipment are common causes of these preventable events. Victims often face significant property damage, loss of income, displacement from their homes, and even personal injury or wrongful death due to such negligence.
Utility companies have a legal duty to ensure their equipment and infrastructure are safe and regularly maintained. When they cut corners or ignore known risks, they must be held accountable. Our law firm has decades of experience representing victims of utility negligence, recovering millions in compensation for those affected by wildfires, explosions, and electrical accidents.
