THE BELLWETHER FOR UTILITY CAUSED WILDFIRE LITIGATION

EXPERIENCE THAT COUNTS:
Leading the Charge in Utility-Caused Wildfire Litigation

In the wake of a devastating wildfire, victims seek more than just compensation – they seek justice, understanding, and a firm that genuinely cares. Our history exemplifies our commitment to such victims.

A Benchmark in SCE Thomas Fire Litigation:
We didn’t just represent a client in the SCE Thomas Fire cases; we led the way as the Bellwether Plaintiff for Agriculture. This wasn’t a mere selection; it was a recognition of our dedication, expertise, and tenacity in championing the rights of victims against giants like the Southern California Edison Electric Company. Out of the multitude, thousands in fact, we were the very first chosen for trial, a testament to our unwavering commitment.

From North to South: A Legacy of Advocacy:
The landscapes of California, from the majestic forests of the north to the scenic beaches of San Diego, have seen our footprints. We’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with countless wildfire victims, fiercely representing their cause against utility companies whose negligence wreaked havoc on their lives.

The Maui Fires: Your Right, Our Fight:
The tragic fires in Maui are more than headlines to us; they are stories of lives turned upside down. With evidence pointing towards the electric company’s role, we believe that every affected individual has a rightful claim. More than compensation, it’s about restoring hope, rebuilding dreams, and ensuring that justice prevails.

Why You Need Competent Attorneys

If you have a serious catastrophic injury resulting from the negligence of another, you want attorneys who are not only proficient in trial but also competent to handle complex medical issues and who have the experience and the relationships in the medical community to make your injury understandable to a jury. Similarly, if your claim is against your homeowners insurance for failing to properly handle and pay your fire or flood claim, you need an attorney with relationships among contractors, remediators, contents specialists and adjusters.

Richards Willis PC has spent a quarter century in the trenches dealing with utility companies, insurance adjusters, doctors, contractors and the attorneys they hire to defend themselves. When you place your trust in us, not only do you get the experience necessary to prosecute your case, but you get an award winning trial lawyer with multiple seven figure jury verdicts who is willing to take your case as far as it needs to go to get the result you require to rebuild your life.
