SHK Law Investigates Legal Implications of Negligence in Connection with the Airport Fire

SHK Law is investigating potential negligence claims related to the ongoing Airport Fire, which has devastated over 23,000 acres in Orange and Riverside counties.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20, 2024 SHK Law, a leading firm specializing in personal injury, property damage, and negligence claims, is actively investigating the potential legal implications arising from the ongoing Airport Fire that has devastated Orange and Riverside counties. The fire, which has now spread across more than 23,000 acres, has resulted in significant property damage, injuries, and mandatory evacuations affecting thousands of residents.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) and other authorities have indicated that the Airport Fire may have been unintentionally ignited by public works crews operating heavy machinery in a high-risk area amidst record-breaking temperatures and extreme drought conditions. If this is confirmed, SHK Law believes there could be grounds for negligence claims against the parties responsible.
