In recent history, we have seen some of the most devastating fires in California. Notably, the Camp Fire became one of the most destructive and deadliest fires that California has ever seen. CalFire determined that the Camp Fire was caused by PG&E. As such, several victims of the Camp Fire have sought legal representation from personal injury attorneys all over Northern California. Despite the fact that PG&E has filed for bankruptcy, PG&E has started to pay out on claims from the Camp Fire and others. As such, Clower Law has recently been receiving telephone calls asking if there is a way to preserve public benefits for the victims who are receiving settlements. There are several options for the victims, including special needs trusts, ABLE accounts, pooled trusts and others. Here at Clower Law, we are committed to helping all California wildfire victims with their own individual needs to preserve their vital public benefits and ensure that their compensation can help them get back on their feet. If you are a California wildfire victim receiving compensation, please call for a consultation to see how we can help you.
