Maui and Lahaina Wildfire Claims Attorneys

Fighting for the rights of those whose lives have been devastated by wildfires caused by negligence

Haslerud Law has extensive experience prosecuting cases against public utilities that have caused wildfires resulting in catastrophic property damage, personal injury, and death. The cause of the fires is often related to a utility company’s failure to maintain its electrical equipment, including inadequate clearance between power lines and surrounding trees and shrubbery. Further, the failure to not deenergize power lines during a High Wind Watch and Red Flag Warning may also be the cause of the fire.

What wildfire victims need to know:

If you or someone you know was a victim of a public utility accident resulting in a wildfire you may be able to recover monetary compensation for:

• Wrongful death of a family member/ loved one
• Damage to or loss of your home
• Personal property damage
• Loss of Pets, livestock and animals
• Costs of evacuation
• Loss of earnings

Even if you have homeowner’s insurance, it might not be enough to cover your losses. A sad fact discovered by many fire victims is that after reconstructing or repairing their property, the insurance proceeds do not fully compensate them for the damages they suffered, including the cost of rebuilding their home or replacing their personal property and landscaping. In many cases, replacement costs are two to three times greater than the amount allocated for in the insurance policy.
