Wildfires

  • Their home or property was damaged or destroyed.

  • They suffered physical injuries or emotional trauma.

  • They incurred evacuation or relocation expenses.

  • They lost income due to the fire.

Emily Carter, a 34-year-old elementary school teacher from Los Angeles, California, was affected by a major wildfire in August 2024. During an emergency evacuation on August 18, she was exposed to thick smoke and airborne ash, leading to respiratory issues and anxiety symptoms.

Emily sought medical care within two days and was diagnosed with smoke inhalation and stress-induced asthma. She began treatment immediately, including inhalers, pulmonary checkups, and therapy for trauma-related symptoms. Her care has been consistent through June 2025.

The wildfire also damaged her home, forcing her to relocate for over two months and cover significant out-of-pocket expenses. She missed three weeks of work and continues to experience breathing difficulties and anxiety, limiting her ability to teach full-time and enjoy outdoor activities.

Emily has not received any prior settlement and is currently unrepresented by legal counsel. She has cooperated with her insurance providers and documented all related expenses. Given the clear timeline, consistent treatment, and ongoing impact, Emily Carter is a strong candidate for a wildfire injury claim.
