Airport Fire Class Action Lawsuit
Join the Legal Fight for Compensation Against Electric Companies in the Airport Fire
Airport Fire Class Action Overview
The Airport Fire erupted in Trabuco Canyon on September 9, 2024, and quickly spread across Orange and Riverside Counties, fueled by dry conditions and intense winds. The fire has burned through more than 22,000 acres, destroying homes and displacing thousands of residents to date. Many families are now dealing with the challenges of recovery, from property loss to evacuation expenses, as they assess the extent of the damage.
If you or your loved ones were affected by the Airport Fire, even if your damages were limited to evacuation or smoke exposure, you may still have the right to pursue compensation. Wildfires often leave lasting impacts that go beyond the immediate physical destruction, and victims may be entitled to recover costs associated with evacuation, property damage, and other related losses.
Cause of the Airport Fire
According to initial reports, the Airport Fire was ignited by heavy equipment operated by public works crews, which accidentally sparked the blaze in dry, windy conditions. There is now growing concern that the fire may have been further exacerbated by local electric utility companies, similar to other California wildfires where power lines and other equipment failures were linked to massive destruction. If these companies are found liable, they could be responsible for covering the losses suffered by victims of this fire.
Who Can Join the Airport Fire Class Action Lawsuit?
If you were evacuated, suffered property damage, lost your home, or experienced personal injuries due to the Airport Fire, you could be eligible to join the class action lawsuit. Even those who were only evacuated without direct property damage might have claims. Victims of California wildfires are often unaware of the full extent of their rights, and this class action aims to help them recover the compensation they deserve.
Why Join a Class Action Lawsuit?
In many cases, insurance does not cover the full extent of wildfire damages, burdening homeowners and businesses with significant costs. When utility companies are at fault, they can be held liable for losses. This includes compensation for:
- Property damage
- Evacuation costs
- Personal injury
- Smoke damage
- Emotional distress
- Economic losses
