MVP Accident Attorneys Offer Support to LA County Residents Affected by Devastating Wildfires

What We Know About the Five Wildfires 1

Los Angeles, California – As California faces a crisis with multiple wildfires raging throughout Los Angeles County, the legal team at MVP Accident Attorneys is offering its services to those affected by the destruction. With five wildfires still burning and the state of emergency remaining in effect, the impact on residents has been catastrophic. Over 1,300 structures have been destroyed, and more than 180,000 people have been forced to evacuate. Tragically, five lives have been lost, and thousands of homes are without power. The Pacific Palisades fire, which ignited on January 7, 2025, has burned over 17,000 acres, making it the most destructive wildfire in LA County’s history.

What We Know About the Five Wildfires

The fires that have ravaged LA County span across different regions, each contributing to widespread destruction. The Pacific Palisades fire started on January 7 and has already devastated more than 17,000 acres. That same day, the Eaton Fire ignited in national forest lands north of downtown LA, consuming over 10,000 acres and claiming five lives. The Sylmar fire began that evening and has so far burned over 855 acres, with containment efforts still underway. The Sunset Fire in Hollywood Hills has been contained but burned 60 acres, and a fire near Acton, in the Sierra Pelon and San Gabriel Mountains, continues to threaten homes and communities.

At this time, only the Sunset Fire in Hollywood Hills has been fully contained. According to Anthony C. Marrone, the Los Angeles County fire chief, “There are not enough firefighters in L.A. County to address four separate fires of this magnitude.” 

With evacuation orders affecting more than 180,000 people, the situation remains dire. Due to congested traffic and hazardous conditions, city workers have been forced to use bulldozers to clear roads for those trying to evacuate.

How MVP Accident Attorneys Can Help

If you’ve experienced the destruction of your home or the tragic loss of a loved one due to these devastating wildfires, MVP Accident Attorneys can help. Our team is here to guide you through the complex legal process, assess liability, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Our Legal Team Can Do for You:

  • Assessing Liability: Determining who is responsible for the wildfire damage is often complicated. It may involve multiple parties, including utility companies, government agencies, or private landowners. Our experienced attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation to identify who is liable for the fire and the resulting destruction.
  • Gathering Evidence: We understand the urgency of gathering evidence in wildfire cases. Our legal team is experienced in collecting fire reports, witness testimonies, and expert opinions to support your case.
  • Navigating Complex Legal Issues: Wildfire cases often involve multiple legal challenges. We will work with you to untangle the complexities, whether the fire was caused by faulty equipment, government negligence, or human error.
  • Pursuing Compensation: Losing your home or a loved one is a tragedy no one should face alone. 
  • Dealing with Insurance Companies: Insurance claims in wildfire cases can be complicated and frustrating. Insurance companies may try to minimize payouts, cancel policies, or deny claims in wildfire-related cases. If your insurer denies your claim or tries to cancel your policy, you must contact a lawyer at MVP Accident Attorneys immediately. 

Who Could Be Liable for Wildfire Damage?

Liability for wildfire damage can fall on several parties, including:

  • Utility Companies: If faulty equipment or poor maintenance by a utility company (such as PG&E) caused the fire, they may be held accountable.
  • Government Entities: Government agencies responsible for land management may face liability if they failed to take preventive measures that could have minimized the spread of the fire.
  • Private Landowners: Negligent landowners who fail to maintain their property, such as not clearing brush or failing to implement fire safety measures, can be held responsible.
  • Negligent Contractors or Manufacturers: If a defective product or poorly executed work caused the fire, those responsible for the failure can be held liable.
  • Arsonists: If the fire was intentionally set, the person or group responsible could face both criminal and civil liability.
