Wildfire Litigation Team

Buchalter has an experienced Wildfire Task Force to navigate the difficult process of recovering from wildfires.  If you have been impacted by the fires in the Greater Los Angeles Area, or you have any questions regarding the services offered by our Wildfire Litigation Team, please contact our lead wildfire litigation attorney Kevin Collins at kcollins@buchalter.com. 

The Buchalter Wildfire Taskforce includes a specialized team of attorneys with extensive experience in wildfire litigation, having represented clients against one of the largest utilities in California. Our wildfire litigation team draws on a deep pool of litigators and retained experts to efficiently pursue recovery against utility companies for damages caused by their wildfires.  Our team has experience representing public entities and businesses (big and small) in fire litigation.  

Wildfire litigation is highly technical and complex, and it is important to select a firm that has a comprehensive understanding of the utility industry and its regulatory framework to maximize your potential recovery.  Buchalter’s wildfire litigation team is versed in the day-to-day operations of transmission companies and generators and the rules and regulations governing how these entities serve the public.   

Whether a fire started due to improper clearance around transmission lines, or the utility failed to maintain their equipment, Buchalter’s wildfire litigation team understands the technical issues to prepare the case for trial or drive the matter toward early resolution.  

Buchalter understands that our clients’ first priority will be rebuilding and our team is well equipped to help our clients rebuild, mitigate their damages, and ensure litigation does not interfere with that process.
