Oklahoma City Wildfire Lawyer

Oklahoma City Wildfire Attorney

Recent drought and miles of unmanaged forest on federal lands have led to damaging wildfires, destroying natural resources upon which ranchers, rural communities, wildlife, and the general public rely. Overregulation and environmental litigation have resulted in greatly reduced livestock grazing and timber harvesting on those lands, which leads to a buildup of fuel, feeding intense fires that kill every living thing in their path, including micro-organisms in the soil that are necessary for recovery. According to the Evergreen Foundation, forest density has increased 40% in the U.S. over the last 50 years.

Wildfires & Utility Companies

Fulmer Sill has extensive experience with cases against public utility companies that have caused wildfires which resulted in catastrophic property damage and personal injury (oftentimes due to the utility company’s defective electrical equipment and/or its failure to maintain adequate clearance between electrical lines, trees, and shrubbery). The attorneys at Fulmer Sill understand how devastating it is to lose your home and all your personal possessions. Even if you have homeowners’ insurance, many times that insurance does not reimburse you for all your losses. We have found that most fire victims are underinsured (that is, property damage exceeds the amount of insurance coverage available). Your recovery may include monetary compensation for personal property damage, landscaping and destruction of trees, damage or loss of residential structures, cost of evacuation, annoyance and discomfort, loss of earnings, and personal injury.
