Mastagni Holstedt is pursuing civil claims against Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PG&E) and any other at-fault parties over the series of destructive wildfires that swept across Northern California in October 2017.
State regulators released reports from PG&E that document at least 20 cases of toppled trees and downed power lines across Northern California the night of October 8, 2017, when strong winds and drought-parched vegetation caused fires from Sonoma to Butte Counties. These deadly wild fires are among the most destructive in California history and were declared a major disaster by President Donald Trump.
Mastagni Holstedt employs a team of highly experienced lawyers who understand the intricacies of mass tort lawsuits and who care deeply about those effected by the devastation caused by these fires. Although our investigation is ongoing, Mastagni Holstedt’s team of experts believes that PG&E is likely to blame for the spark that ignited this series of devastating fires. Our preliminary investigation indicates that PG&E’s negligent maintenance of its power poles and power lines is to blame for starting the fires that resulted in billions of dollars in property loss and the death of dozens of Californians.
This lawsuit will seek to recover compensation for any and all costs that are not covered by homeowner’s insurance, including any personal injuries, wrongful deaths, lost wages/profits, and emotional distress. Because our representation is on a contingency fee, we handle all upfront costs and our clients do not pay anything unless we recover damages for them. Moreover, we are offering a reduced attorneys’ fee to handle these cases.
If you or anyone you know is interested in obtaining our representation for this civil lawsuit, or if you are experiencing issues with your homeowner’s insurance, then please contact Justine Lamy at (916) 491-4244 and she will put you in touch with one of our civil litigation attorneys.
