Laguna Niguel Wildfire Lawsuits

LITIGATION FOR THE COASTAL FIRE IN LAGUNA NIGUEL

In May 2022, the Coastal Fire tore through Laguna Niguel, destroying 20 homes, damaging 11 others, and forcing 900 residents to evacuate. The fire began in the Aliso Woods Canyon, burned 200 acres, and was 90% contained as of Monday, May 16. As local authorities lift evacuation orders, those who lost everything to the Coastal Fire are returning to the ruins of their homes and wondering who to blame. Frantz Law Group, APLC is here to help. We are currently accepting cases involving the Coastal Fire in Laguna Niguel, California. If you lost your home due to the Laguna Niguel wildfire, please do not hesitate to call us at today.

CAUSE OF THE LAGUNA NIGUEL FIRE

The cause of the Coastal Fire in Laguna Niguel is still under investigation. As CBS News reports, however, “Southern California Edison disclosed that it had told state officials of ‘circuit activity’ in the area where the blaze broke out as it erupted.” Utility companies like Southern California Edison are notorious for causing  wildfires in California. For example, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) was linked to the North Bay Wildfires in Northern California in October 2017. We helped many homeowners recover after this terrible tragedy.

HOW OUR ATTORNEYS HELP

Often, our wildfire attorneys can help homeowners recover losses that are not covered by their insurance companies – and help hold public utilities accountable for their wrongdoing. Damages you can recover may include:
  • Evacuation costs
  • Additional living expenses
  • Residential landscaping costs
  • Damage to native trees and vegetation
  • Replacement costs for personal items
  • Attorney’s fees
  • Annoyance and discomfort damages
  • And more

Losing your home and your most treasured items costs more than any insurance company could estimate. Our Laguna Niguel wildfire attorneys can help you fight for full compensation.

Still, 20 people lost their homes, and hundreds more were displaced.
