Camp Fire – Wildfire Litigation

For those that have unfortunately been negatively impacted by the Camp Fire’s devastation, we extend our sincerest condolences. We are actively investigating the issue of PG&E’s fault for failure to properly maintain power lines. PG&E must, per CPUC General Oder 95, maintain its poles, transformers, distribution lines, and recloser devices in a manner such that electricity is carried safely. This includes regular maintenance and inspections, removing vegetation around lines, and other procedures to ensure that their equipment is safe and able to withstand high winds.

After last year’s deadly and devastating Sonoma fire, which Cal Fire Investigators found was caused by PG&E equipment, PG&E’s continued failure to ensure the public’s safety with well-maintained power lines and equipment is particularly egregious.

To the extent that PG&E is found to have violated minimum safety requirements, it should be held fully accountable and the families and businesses that have suffered should be given a voice.
