Fighting for California Wildfire Victims
Local Expertise. National Impact. Real Results.
The Palisades and Eaton wildfires tore through Southern California neighborhoods, destroying homes and forcing families to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Though these events were driven by extreme conditions, many of the consequences could have been prevented. Corporate negligence, outdated infrastructure, and poor oversight turned risk into disaster.
Now, many victims are facing a second uphill battle—with their insurance companies. Victims of the Palisades and Eaton fires are seeing legitimate claims denied, payments delayed, and unfairly low settlement offers. Major insurers like State Farm, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, Mercury, and Allstate as well as the California FAIR Plan are minimizing payouts, with some denying nearly half of all claims filed.
In addition, ongoing investigations into Southern California Edison’s role in sparking the Eaton Fire may open the door for affected residents to pursue claims directly against the utility company.
Aylstock, Witkin, Kreis & Overholtz stand with wildfire victims, fighting for the justice and recovery they deserve. With extensive experience advocating for victims of natural disasters, our firm has teamed up with local California attorneys to open the California Fire Victims Law Center to advocate for those impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires—every step of the way.
