Quinn Emanuel Files Nine-Count Lawsuit Against Southern California Edison for Eaton Fire. Leading the charge as the first AmLaw 100 firm to represent wildfire victims, Quinn Emanuel has filed suit for the Davis family of Altadena, who lost their home and beloved cat in January's devastating Eaton Fire in Altadena. "They are our neighbors, our friends, our clients, and this never should have happened," says John B. Quinn, Executive Chairman and Pasadena resident.
The lawsuit asserts nine causes of action and alleges that SCE prioritized profits over safety, failing to de-energize high-voltage lines even after winds exceeded 60 miles per hour, causing the fire to ignite.
