Eaton Fire survivors are being flooded with mailers, social ads and billboards from Edison urging us to sign up for its Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program (WRCP) by November 30. How do we evaluate the WRCP versus litigation? And how do we choose what’s right for our families?
Join two of the three court-appointed liaison counsel coordinating the work of hundreds of lawyers representing individual Eaton Fire plaintiffs. They shared the latest developments from that day’s court hearing, just hours before our session, and answered your questions:
What compensation could you receive through the WRCP versus litigation?
What rights could you give up, what deadlines apply, and when does your choice become final?
How soon could you get paid, and what could you pay in legal fees?
What happens if you disagree with Edison’s offer?
How could the bellwether test cases affect settlements and payment timelines?
