Karns & Karns Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys express their condolences and support for those affected by the Eaton Fire. The fire, which erupted near Altadena on January 7, 2024, has claimed 17 lives and caused widespread devastation, leaving countless families to face unimaginable loss as more than roughly 9,400 homes and businesses were destroyed.

“As lifelong residents of this area, we at Karns & Karns are heartbroken by the devastation caused by the Eaton Fire,” says Mike Karns, founding partner. “This is our home, these are our neighbors, and we understand the profound impact this tragedy has had on our community. We want the victims of the Eaton Fire to know that they are not alone. We offer support, compassion, and legal expertise during this tough time.”

Navigating the Aftermath: Seeking Justice and Compensation:

The Eaton Fire has left a trail of destruction, forcing individuals and families to grapple with the emotional toll of the tragedy and the complex process of rebuilding their lives. Amidst this devastation, the recent disclosure by Southern California Edison (SCE) of “irregularities” found during inspections of their electrical equipment near the fire’s origin has raised serious questions about potential contributing factors. These irregularities, including unusual electrical activity observed on transmission lines and possible similarities to video footage capturing flashes near electrical equipment moments before the fire ignited, are now part of the ongoing investigation.

“The findings reported by SCE are deeply concerning,” adds Bill Karns, founding partner. “While the official cause of the Eaton Fire is still under investigation, it is crucial to thoroughly examine all potential factors that may have contributed to this tragedy. We are committed to holding all responsible parties accountable and fighting tirelessly for the victims’ rights.”
