CALIFORNIA – Nachawati Law Group announced January 13, that they held a town hall meeting with victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. 

The group says the forum provided an opportunity for residents to speak with experienced attorneys and learn more about available assistance.

“We’re seeing victims emerge from the shock of what happened with fundamental questions about how to begin rebuilding. Many of those questions require legal assistance,” said Nachawati Law Group founder Majed Nachawati.

‘Insurance companies are known to take advantage’

According to the law group they addressed a range of legal questions during the meeting, including:

  • Insurance claims and policy disputes: Insurance companies are known to take advantage of policyholders because many don’t understand the complicated process or know that they can challenge insurance reimbursements that are not sufficient.
  • The role of negligence: Like recent wildfires in Hawaii and California, actions and inactions of third parties, including Southern California Edison and the city of Los Angeles, may have played a role in the tragedy. Those parties may be accountable for wrongful death, personal injury and property damage and loss.

Residents unable to attend the meetings can have questions answered by calling 888-955-CALI (2254) or visiting https://ntrial.com/southern-california-wildfires/.
