Southern California Edison Payout Program
-
Payments could be 53–73% lower than the true cost of rebuilding.
-
SCE’s payment formula subtracts the full amount of a survivor’s insurance coverage—even funds that have not been paid out and may never be.
-
The program allegedly minimizes the value of legal claims involving renters, children, and smoke-related property damage.
-
Accepting a Fast Pay settlement requires survivors to give up their right to pursue additional compensation through litigation.
-
The option may pressure financially strained survivors to accept quick cash settlements.
-
There is no opportunity to negotiate the offered amount. While survivors may request a detailed claim review if dissatisfied, there is no assurance the payment will be adjusted.
Survivors who want full and fair compensation may recover more by filing a lawsuit rather than accepting SCE’s program. While the program may provide money more quickly, it may not reflect the true value of their losses. Pursuing legal action allows survivors to seek complete compensation and hold SCE accountable. Those weighing their options are encouraged to learn more about the differences between the compensation program and filing a lawsuit.
EROSION LOSSES
Erosion services from our Forensics team can assist with losses due to denuding of the area, cost of repair, and labor cost evaluations. Our experts are experienced in assessing the damage and providing detailed reports on the best course of action to repair the site. We can also help to estimate the cost of restoring the area and the cost to remove any debris or sediment.
IRRIGATION AND TEMPORARY IRRIGATION
Our Irrigation Loss Evaluation service provides comprehensive analysis of damage caused by California wildfires. We provide an accurate estimate of the cost of replacement, including current labor rates, and can help with the cost of temporary irrigation implementation to ensure coverage of propagated vegetation. Our team will take detailed list of components and measurements of the original irrigation system to provide an accurate evaluation of the damage.
HARDSCAPE DAMAGE LOSSES
Our Hardscape Evaluation services provide comprehensive assessments of cracked and damaged retaining walls, fencing, driveways, improved footpaths, culvert repairs, wells, and water features (ponds, creeks, etc.) in order to identify potential issues and help you restore them to their original condition.
