How a Maui Fire Lawyer Can Help With Claims For Land Damage in Wildfires
The August 2023 Maui fires destroyed over 2200 homes and businesses in the historic town of Lahaina. These devastating wildfires were caused by a series of power line failures that led to the rapid spread of the fires across the island. According to reports, these failures were the result of electrical equipment that was damaged by high winds associated with Hurricane Dora.
Lawsuits against the utility company claim that HECO knew of the risk of these high winds and that their equipment could be impacted by the strong storm. It was also claimed that the company did not shut off power to its customers when the weather forecast predicted high winds, which is an industry standard. Those who lost their homes or suffered other property damage were not informed of the dangers and did not receive evacuation orders or sirens.
