Peace of Mind

“As an attorney dedicated to helping victims of the airport fires, I believe in fighting relentlessly for justice and ensuring that those affected receive the compensation they deserve.”

When we take on a case, we put ourselves in our client’s position and settle for nothing less than the highest level of results.

The Airport Fire started on September 9, 2024, in the Trabuco Canyon area of Orange County and quickly spread to nearly 30,000 acres, destroying surrounding communities along the Ortega Highway, such as El Cariso Village and the cabins near Holy Jim Falls. While the official cause of the fire has yet to be released, unofficially, local fire authorities have indicated that Orange County Public Works started the fire when using heavy machinery during a red-flag, extreme heat event. If you have been impacted by this negligence, hiring an Airport Fire Attorney can be the right step.

DAMAGES

Whether you are a property owner, renter, evacuee or a person with or without insurance, we encourage you to contact us for an analysis of your potential case against Orange County Public Works.

Personal Contents Damages

Our Airport Fire attorneys can assist you with creating an inventory of your personal contents, or even expand upon the inventory you’ve created for your insurer. Importantly, we can help you to recover those items not covered by insurance – classic cars, artwork, jewelry, cherished possessions, and other collectibles.

Real Property Damages

Our experienced Airport Fire lawyers will analyze your real property to maximize your recovery against Orange County Public Works. We analyze the cost to rebuild and restore your property, ensuring that no damages are left on the table. This could include landscape damages, hardscape damages, debris removal, and land stabilization. Importantly, we make sure we recover for tree damages, which could be substantial.

Even if you have sold, or intend to sell your property, you may be entitled to compensation. We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible for a consultation and analysis.

Renter Damages

Renters can recover for their losses in a case such as the Airport Fire lawsuit, where personal contents were damaged or destroyed, or uninsured expenses were incurred. Not owning real property or a failure to obtain insurance is not a bar to recovery. We encourage you to contact us for a meeting to discuss your potential case against Orange County Public Works.

Evacuation and Smoke Damages

Evacuees may be entitled to compensation for their expenses actually incurred, as well as for smoke and particulate damage to their property. Where a mountainous region burns, such as along the Ortega Highway, the level of particulate damage to a property (insulation, ducts, hardscape), can be substantial.

Emotional Harm

In the Airport Fire Lawsuit, we will aim to make a case for the recovery for the emotional harm associated with going through a traumatic fire escape, and the recovery aftermath. This time period is undoubtedly one of the hardest you’ve gone through, and you should be entitled to recover for that anguish you’ve experienced.

Mudslides and Erosion

In our experience, we have seen mountainous regions experience mudflows after a devastating fire. This is potentially an issue along the Ortega Highway, and below in Lake Elsinore. Should these damages arise, we will aggressively litigate these damages against Orange County Public Works.
