Increased Frequency of California Wildfires and PG&E’s Role

California has been facing an increasingly severe wildfire crisis in recent years, with numerous large-scale fires causing devastating losses to life, property, and the environment. These wildfires have been driven by a combination of factors, including climate change, hotter nighttime temperatures, and changes in precipitation patterns, which have contributed to drier autumns and an extended fire season.

One of the major players in the California wildfire saga is Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), the state’s largest utility company. PG&E has been found responsible for several devastating wildfires due to equipment failures, inadequate maintenance practices, and other faulty actions and omissions. The company’s negligence in managing its infrastructure has resulted in billions of dollars in damages, leading to numerous lawsuits and settlements with affected homeowners.

In the face of these tragic events and the ongoing threat of wildfires, California property owners need financial support to rebuild their lives and communities. This is where pre-settlement lawsuit loans can play a crucial role, providing much-needed financial relief for those waiting for their settlements to be paid out. Those who are waiting for their remaining settlement funds from PG&E can apply for a lawsuit loan right away and be fully funded within hours.

The PG&E California Wildfire Settlement Process

The wildfire settlement process is complex and lengthy and involves negotiations, legal proceedings, and the allocation of funds to affected homeowners. In the case of the California wildfires caused by PG&E, the situation has been further complicated by the company’s bankruptcy filing in 2019. As a result, affected homeowners initially received only a percentage of their rightful settlement amount, leaving them with the burden of waiting for the remaining funds to be distributed.

This delay in receiving the full settlement placed significant financial strain on many of these homeowners, who need the funds to rebuild their homes, cover living expenses, and address other pressing needs. Pre-settlement lawsuit loans have emerged as a valuable solution to alleviate this financial burden and provide immediate access to the remaining settlement funds solution.

Pre-settlement loans, also known as lawsuit loans or lawsuit cash advances, allow homeowners to receive a portion of their remaining wildfire settlement money before the case has been fully resolved. This financial assistance can be used to cover various expenses, such as home repairs, temporary housing, medical bills, or daily living costs, while waiting for the remaining settlement funds to be disbursed.

By accessing a pre-settlement loan, homeowners can regain some financial stability and focus on getting their lives back on track rather than worrying about when their remaining settlement funds will be available.

Fast Approval for CA Wildfire Settlement Loans

The approval process for wildfire settlement loans is designed to be quick and efficient, providing homeowners with access to their remaining California wildfire settlement funds right away. Some of the major benefits that homeowners receive when they obtain an advance on their remaining settlement include:

• Quick Approval: Direct Legal Funding understands the urgency of the situation and we strive to expedite the approval process, allowing homeowners to access their funds as quickly as possible.
• No Credit Checks: Unlike traditional loans, pre-settlement funding does not require credit checks, making them accessible to a wider range of applicants.
• Non-Recourse Funding: If the case is unsuccessful, the homeowner is not required to repay the lawsuit cash advance, reducing the financial risk for the borrower.
• Flexible Spending: As mentioned earlier, homeowners can use the funds to cover a variety of expenses, such as home repairs, temporary housing, medical bills, daily living costs, or however else they see fit.
• No Upfront Fees or Monthly Payments: Pre-settlement lawsuit loans do not require any upfront fees, making it easier for homeowners to access the funds they need. There are also no monthly payments required as the advance is repaid out of the proceeds from the eventual settlement.
• Relief from Financial Pressure: With immediate access to funds, California property owners who were impacted by the wildfires can concentrate on rebuilding their lives without the stress of waiting for their remaining PG&E settlement funds.

Widespread PG&E-Induced California Wildfires

Sadly, the 2021 Dixie Fire is far from an isolated incident. California has been ravaged by wildfires in recent years, and according to CAL FIRE, there has been an average of 7,140 fires and an average of 2,094,293 acres burned each year for the past five years.

PG&E has been implicated in a significant number of recent California wildfires, and in many cases, settlement funds have already been set up to compensate fire victims. However, those affected by a PG&E-induced wildfire need to either join an ongoing lawsuit or file one of their own.

If you or someone you know was impacted by either the Dixie Fire or another California wildfire that happened recently and you are not yet part of any litigation, we strongly advise that you speak with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your legal options.

Here are some of the recent California wildfires in which it has been determined that PG&E was the cause:

• The 56,000-acre Zogg Fire which started in Shasta County in September 2020.
• The 77,000-acre Kincade Fire that started in Sonoma County in October 2019.
• The 153,000-acre Camp Fire that started in Butte County in November 2018.
• The October 2017 “Fire Siege” that burned more than 107,000 acres across several Northern California counties.
• The 36,000-acre Tubbs Fire that burned parts of Napa, Sonoma, and Lake counties in October 2017.
• The 70,000-acre Butte Fire that started in Amador County in September 2015.

In these and numerous other California wildfires, the root cause of the fire was some type of PG&E electrical equipment failure. Although PG&E has been determined to be negligent for these fires (and in some cases “grossly negligent”), lawsuits against utilities always involve a number of complicated factors.

Plaintiffs will often need to wait for a significant period of time before they receive their settlement funds while PG&E needlessly drags out the process. In the meantime, the bills keep coming in and the cost to rebuild their lives continues to add up.
