Texas Smokehouse Creek Wildfires Lawsuit

The Smokehouse Creek Wildfire, triggered by a collapsed power line pole attributed to Xcel Energy amidst high winds, has become one of Texas’s most catastrophic natural disasters and the largest in state history. With over a million acres consumed by the flames, the devastation has obliterated homes, livelihoods, and vast stretches of land in the Texas Panhandle, highlighting critical concerns regarding utility providers’ maintenance and safety practices in wildfire-prone areas. While Xcel Energy cooperates with investigations, it challenges allegations of negligence, even as the scale of destruction underscores the dire consequences of infrastructure failure.

Xcel Energy has acknowledged the potential involvement of its facilities in igniting the Smokehouse Creek Wildfires, attributing the cause to high winds. While the company disputes negligence claims, it has opened a claims process for those impacted. Our legal team is poised to critically assess these developments, advocating for the rights of property owners and livestock keepers impacted by the wildfires. We are here to navigate the complexities of claiming compensation and challenging any assertions of non-negligence on your behalf.

In the aftermath of a devastating event like the Smokehouse Creek Wildfire, while insurance may provide relief for some of your losses, it often doesn’t cover the full extent of the damage.
