Corey Gibbs Fire Lawyer Amanda Riddle Appointed to SCE Eaton Fire Lawsuit Leadership

As liaison counsel, Amanda serves as one of the primary spokespersons for individual fire survivors and coordinates between all parties involved in the case.
SCE Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program: Learn the Risks
Despite not accepting responsibility for the Eaton Fire in court, SCE will provide payments according to the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program protocol to individuals and businesses impacted by the Eaton Fire for certain claims.
Accepting an offer from the program will prevent you from pursuing future litigation against SCE related to the Eaton Fire. This means you may miss out on a significant amount of compensation that you would otherwise recover through filing an SCE lawsuit.
From our experience representing survivors of California fire and utility disasters, we have seen compensation programs like this before. It is a calculated move that is used by utility companies to limit their financial exposure while also generating positive publicity.
Evidence Points to SCE: Our Eaton Fire Lawsuit Holds SCE Accountable
A growing body of evidence is emerging that suggests the fire started in the dry grasses below a set of transmissions towers carrying high-energy power lines.
The lines were buffeted that evening by winds that at times reached 100 miles per hour.
The New York Times
Our Eaton Fire lawsuit alleges that SCE prioritized profits over safety in failing to inspect and maintain its infrastructure and manage its power transmission lines during a period of high fire danger. Plaintiffs allege that this failure ultimately caused the Eaton Fire to ignite in the hills of Eaton Canyon, near Altadena, CA.
Significant evidence demonstrates that SCE equipment likely caused the Eaton Fire, which destroyed or damaged over 10,000 structures. Hold SCE accountable today by filing an Eaton Fire Lawsuit.
Video evidence shows sparks and flames erupting at the base of a Southern California Edison electrical tower in Eaton Canyon on January 7th, the same day that the Eaton Fire started, according to the New York Times.
