If you’ve suffered loss from a wildfire, our wildfire damage attorneys are here to help you seek the compensation you deserve.
Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that spread rapidly across vegetation and forests, often fueled by dry conditions, strong winds, and high temperatures. They can be sparked by natural causes like lightning or human activities such as discarded cigarettes, unattended campfires, or power line failures. Wildfires pose serious threats to ecosystems, wildlife, and human communities, causing destruction of property, air pollution, and loss of life.
The Real Impact of Wildfires – Why You May Need Legal Help
Wildfires leave lasting damage — not just to property, but to every part of life. If you or your loved ones have been affected, you may be entitled to file a wildfire damage claim. Here’s what many wildfire victims face:
Loss of Life and Property – Homes, businesses, and neighborhoods can be destroyed, forcing families to evacuate and causing tragic fatalities.
Health Hazards – Wildfire smoke harms air quality and can cause serious breathing problems, especially for children, seniors, and people with medical conditions.
Economic Losses – Businesses may close for good. Tourism drops. Rebuilding costs soar. Insurance rates can rise sharply.
Environmental Destruction – Fires ruin ecosystems, destroy habitats, and lead to long-term problems like soil erosion, flooding, and landslides.
Emotional Trauma – Survivors often suffer from stress, anxiety, or PTSD after evacuations, property loss, and weeks of uncertainty.
We understand how overwhelming life after a wildfire can feel. In addition to legal support, survivors often experience emotional stress, anxiety, and PTSD. If you’re struggling after a wildfire, consider connecting with a support organization like the American Red Cross for immediate help.
Our team of experienced wildfire attorneys is here to guide you through your legal options, help you file a claim, and work toward the recovery you deserve.
Experienced Wildfire Attorneys Fighting for Victims Nationwide
ASK LLP is one of the few law firms with a leadership role in the nation’s largest wildfire disasters. We represented a top city executive from Paradise, California — the epicenter of the devastating California wildfires. Our wildfire attorneys helped secure our client a spot on the Official Torts Committee and played a key role in negotiating a $12 billion settlement for all wildfire victims.
Since the Maui wildfires in August 2023, our legal team has been deeply involved in helping victims recover damages. We filed multiple wildfire lawsuits in Hawaii state court before Judge Peter Cahill, pursuing claims for:
Business losses
Lost wages and rental income
Home and property destruction
Agricultural damage
Personal injury and emotional distress
When the cases were moved to federal court, our attorneys successfully fought to return them to Hawaii state court. One year after the disaster, a $4 billion wildfire settlement was reached. We continue to advocate for our clients and guide them through each legal step toward recovery.
