What's behind Wildfire claims?

In several recent, highly destructive wildfires, investigators have traced the ignition point to utility equipment — downed power lines, failed hardware, or inadequate vegetation management around transmission infrastructure.

Claims allege that utility companies failed to adequately maintain their equipment or manage vegetation risk, leading to property damage, loss, and in some cases personal injury or wrongful death for affected residents.

Typical case criteria: property owners or residents who suffered property damage, loss, or injury from a wildfire later attributed to utility equipment or negligent vegetation management.

Case criteria we screen for

Cases we source and qualify in this case type generally involve:

  • Property damage, loss, or injury from a specific, identifiable wildfire event
  • A wildfire attributed (or under investigation as attributable) to utility equipment or negligence
  • Documentation of the loss (insurance records, photos, repair/replacement estimates)

Law firm partners can share additional intake criteria at onboarding to keep referrals aligned with their practice.

How the process works

For our partners, it's straightforward:

  • Law firms — tell us your capacity and any specific intake criteria; we route qualified, vetted cases in this case type to you.
  • Ongoing — reporting and a dedicated contact keep volume and quality aligned.

Case volume in this case type is tied to specific wildfire events, so timely intake after a qualifying fire matters.
