Maui Wildfire Lawyers
The apocalyptic Maui fires took the lives of at least 115 people and destroyed countless homes, businesses and other properties. We believe that those responsible should be held accountable to the full extent of the law. Our experienced Maui fire lawyers will fight to ensure that you are fully compensated for all of your losses.
The Maui fires were largely preventable, and those who failed to take steps to protect lives and property should be held accountable. We are prepared to pursue legal claims against utility companies and insurance firms that were negligent in their duties to their customers. We are also committed to pursuing justice on behalf of victims who have suffered the wrongful death of loved ones in connection with these catastrophic fires.

Do Maui Wildfire Lawyers Handle Cases Involving Injuries From Wildfires?
When the North Bay fires struck in 2018, big out-of-town law firms flooded Sonoma, Napa and Butte counties, signing up fire victims by the thousands. Now, those same firms are descending on Maui, investigating liability and enlisting clients in Lahaina, the town hardest hit by the deadly blazes that killed at least 115 people.
Mikal Watts’ firm, now based in Santa Rosa, and San Diego-based Singleton Schreiber are two of the well-known firms that have set up shop on the island. Other local attorneys have been working on the fires as well.
Fires can turn resorts, condos, apartment buildings, time-shares and other residential and commercial property into ash in a matter of minutes. Often, survivors of these devastating losses are left with no choice but to rebuild and start over. Unfortunately, many insurance companies deny or delay payment of insurance benefits, preventing survivors from recovering the full value of their losses. We can help you get the money you need to rebuild and recover from the insurers that denied your right to compensation or delayed payment.
If you are a survivor of the Maui wildfires, contact a Hawaii Insurance Lawyer immediately to determine whether your lost income and expenses are covered by your insurance policy. We specialize in helping clients recover underinsured losses caused by wildfires, including loss of income, damages for annoyance, costs to clean up and remove debris, damage to personal property, costs to replace vehicles or recreational equipment, and other expenses that may not be fully paid by your insurance company.
We can also pursue financial compensation for non-economic damages such as mental anguish, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. Our team of Maui fire lawyers can help you understand your rights and work with other experts to maximize the value of your claim.
