A lot of people think of natural disasters such as wildfires as being due to an act of God, and that there’s nothing really anyone could have done. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as seen by the expose that was released a few months ago regarding the culpability of energy giant PG&E when it came to the raging California fires. It is alleged in investigations that a spark caused by a downed wire or faulty wiring in the grid could have been the genesis of one of the largest fires in California history. Looking at the facts, this could very well be accurate given the documents released by investigators which show that PG&E RARELY carried out maintenance on its power lines and the grid in general, and instead used this money to pay out shareholders and pad the pockets of the higher ups at the expense of human life. If you were affected by any of the California fires, we’d love to help you by seeking legal answers to your questions so you can be rightfully compensated by a company that has shown reckless disregard for human life over many decades.

Negligence By Utility Company May Have Caused California Fires
It is important to note that utility companies such as PG&E owe you something called duty of care which is a legal principle that demands these institutions act in a reasonable manner to keep you safe at all time during the provision of services, failure to which and as a consequence of their negligent actions causing harm to you, you may be able to recover compensation by way of a personal injury lawsuit.
