Common Types of Wildfire Damage

Wildfires are extremely destructive events that can cause many different types of damage for victims. Wildfires can spread with rapid speed, destroying everything in their paths. Even those who are not directly affected by the flames can suffer injuries such as smoke inhalation. Common losses related to wildfires include:

• Physical injuries
• Psychological trauma
• Home and business damage
• Structural damage
• Vehicle destruction
• Landscape/fencing damage
• Agricultural losses
• Injuries to pets or livestock
• Wrongful death

Your Rights After a Wildfire

If you suffered any type of injury or loss because of the Maxwell Fire, you may be entitled to financial compensation through an insurance claim or wildfire lawsuit. If you have the right type of insurance, you could file a claim for coverage for your related injuries and property repairs. However, many insurance companies make it difficult for clients to recover fair benefits for wildfires.

You may have grounds to file a lawsuit, on the other hand, if an investigation reveals that someone is responsible for the fire. If it was a flare-up from the Monument Fire and an investigation finds that PG&E – a utility company with a history of negligence whose power poles are in the fire zone – caused the fire, for instance, PG&E could be liable for your damages.
