Palisades Fire Litigation

Adler Law Group: Committed to Justice for Palisades Fire Victims

At Adler Law Group, we stand with the communities devastated by the Palisades Fire, a catastrophic wildfire that has left an indelible mark on Los Angeles County. As of January 2025, this fire has destroyed 6,831 structures, damaged 973, and tragically claimed 12 civilian lives, with three civilian injuries and one firefighter injury reported. Now 100% contained, the fire’s aftermath continues to burden residents and business owners, with evacuation orders persisting across seven jurisdictions and the threat of mudslides growing due to heavy winter rains. We are here to help victims rebuild by securing the compensation they deserve.

Our firm, Adler Law Group, brings nearly two decades of experience in California wildfire litigation to the fight for Palisades Fire victims. We are actively pursuing litigation against the LA Department of Water and Power (DWP), whose failure to maintain equipment or de-energize power lines during National Weather Service red flag warnings contributed to the fire’s ignition or spread. Our seasoned attorneys are committed to holding accountable those responsible for this tragedy, leveraging our proven track record to deliver justice.

We understand the profound losses faced by homeowners, renters, and business owners affected by the Palisades Fire. Eligible victims may seek compensation for:

  • property damage
  • tree/landscape damage
  • loss of personal property
  • loss of cherished possessions
  • emotional distress
  • evacuation/relocation expenses
  • harm to pets
  • personal injury or wrongful death

To strengthen your claim, we encourage you to gather evidence such as photographs of damaged property, medical records, and receipts for fire-related costs. Our team at Adler Law Group guides you through every step—filing claims, negotiating with insurance companies, or pursuing lawsuits—ensuring your rights are protected within California’s statute of limitations (generally, two years for personal injury and three years for property damage).

Collaborating with experts like arborists and construction estimators, we meticulously assess damages, especially for underinsured clients, to maximize your recovery. Like leading wildfire litigation firms, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront legal fees. Our client-centered approach ensures personalized attention, addressing your unique losses through settlements or courtroom advocacy, as we’ve done successfully in countless cases.
