The recent wildfires in Lahaina on Maui caused massive devastation, hundreds of deaths, and countless more injuries. While wildfires often occur due to events beyond human control, evidence indicates that negligent utility companies and other parties may have made the fires worse and caused additional harm. If true, those who suffered injuries or property damage or who lost loved ones in the blaze may have the right to compensation.
Attorney Tom and his dedicated legal team want to help you find justice after the horrific wildfires in Maui. Utility companies, public officials, and others are responsible for keeping people safe from fires, and our lawyers can help you hold them accountable for their negligence. Our team has decades of experience in personal injury cases, and we never charge any fees unless you recover compensation. Call (713) 244-6363 now or complete our contact form for a free case evaluation.
The root cause of the Maui wildfires remains a subject of intense scrutiny. However, early evidence points towards a culprit: downed power lines. Photos and videos widely shared across social media platforms seem to corroborate this theory. It’s worth noting that in regions that frequently experience wildfires, such as California, utility companies often shut down power lines to reduce the chances of a fire starting. The New York Times reports that the CEO of Hawaiian Electric said it did not have such a shut-off program in place.
The evidence suggests the utility company may have acted negligently in that it did not exercise necessary care given the circumstances to prevent a foreseeable accident from occurring. And a company or any other party that harms others through its negligence could be responsible for the consequences of that harm. This includes potential liability for injuries, loss of life, and extensive property damage from the blaze. There are even news reports indicating that Hawaiian Electric may have removed possible evidence from the scene of the fires, perhaps to shield themselves from liability.
It is difficult to definitively say what caused the Maui wildfires until officials complete their investigation. That said, evidence suggests the following parties may bear some responsibility for the carnage:
Insurance is often the first defense when natural disasters like wildfires impact our homes or businesses. While homeowner’s and business insurance can help in the wake of such events, they don’t cover everything. A personal injury claim can be a crucial path to recovery in such cases. Through such a claim, victims of the Maui wildfires might be entitled to compensation for:
The Maui wildfires were horrifying, and if you were affected, you’re likely only beginning to pick up the pieces. Still, you should know that there are important steps to take to safeguard your legal rights. By doing the following, you can lay the groundwork for a strong claim for compensation:
While we call wildfires natural disasters, this term does not absolve anyone whose behavior caused or worsened a particular blaze. If you suffered injuries or lost your home or business in the Maui wildfires, Attorney Tom is here to protect your rights and demand justice on your behalf.
