About the Team Representing California Wildfire Survivors
The Corey Gibbs Fire Lawyers (a consortium between the law firms of Corey, Luzaich, de Ghetaldi & Riddle LLP and Gibbs Mura LLP) have extensive experience representing California fire survivors in lawsuits against some of the biggest utilities for recklessly causing wildfires and disasters that resulted in fatalities, injuries, emotional distress, business loss, and property damage.
Our goal is to help Eaton Fire survivors receive the compensation they deserve for the damage caused by the fire and the immense emotional suffering they have experienced.
To date, we’ve represented over 6,300 survivors of utility-caused fires and explosions in California, and on behalf of these clients, we have secured over $1.5 billion in compensation.
You may be losing a significant amount of money if you’re relying on insurance alone. Insurance does not cover the full extent of physical, emotional, and financial challenges resulting from the Eaton Fire.
Experience Matters
We are committed to helping homeowners, renters, and business owners recover from the Eaton Fire.

The judge appointed the liaison counsel following the March 17th case management conference.
