San Antonio, TX – Watts Guerra LLC, a nationally recognized leader in mass tort litigation, is proud to announce its commitment to providing legal representation for McKinney Fire victims. This devastating wildfire, California’s deadliest in 2022, ravaged over 60,000 acres in the Klamath National Forest, claimed four lives, and decimated numerous structures and communities.
The McKinney Fire, triggered by a power outage and subsequent re-energization of a Pacific Power line, exemplifies the catastrophic consequences of utility negligence. Despite reports of a 60-foot-tall Ponderosa pine dangerously leaning into the powerline, Pacific Power, a unit of PacifiCorp, recklessly decided to re-energize the line without investigating the outage’s cause. This incident underscores a systemic issue where utility companies, including Pacific Power and PacifiCorp, prioritize profits over critical safety protocols.
Watts Guerra LLC’s mission extends beyond seeking compensation for losses. The firm is dedicated to holding those responsible accountable, advocating for substantial improvements in utility operations, and ensuring public safety. Under the experienced leadership of Mikal C. Watts, the firm’s team of legal experts remains closely connected with the affected communities, providing support and guidance throughout the litigation process.
For those impacted by the McKinney Fire, Watts Guerra LLC offers more than just legal assistance; it is an opportunity to be part of a more significant movement to rectify issues in our utility systems and protect future generations. The firm’s approach to wildfire litigation is comprehensive, encompassing various types of recoverable losses ranging from property damage to emotional distress.
Watts Guerra LLC has a notable track record of representing over 18,000 wildfire victims and securing settlements exceeding $1 billion. The firm’s expertise spans multiple states, including California, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Oregon. Their success in significant cases, such as the landmark $13.5 billion settlement for victims of numerous California wildfires, positions them as a formidable advocate for those affected by such disasters.
Significantly, Watts Guerra LLC operates on a contingency fee basis, ensuring that legal services are accessible to all. Clients are not required to pay fees upfront, and the firm’s remuneration is contingent upon winning the case. This arrangement alleviates the financial burden on those already facing the aftermath of the fire, providing a pathway to justice without upfront costs.
As part of their comprehensive legal services, Watts Guerra LLC assists clients in documenting their losses, provides guidelines for creating detailed records of damages, and offers support every step of the way.
