SCE’s compensation program closes to new claims after November 30. Before you file, and before you accept any offer, talk with an attorney who handles these claims.
SCE will not accept new claims after November 30, 2026. If you don’t file in time, you lose the chance to receive an offer through the program.
To be paid, you sign a notarized settlement agreement that gives up your right to sue SCE over the fire. Know what your claim is worth before you sign.
If you are represented by an attorney when your claim is submitted, SCE adds 20% to the net damages portion of its offer for attorney fees. Ask us how this applies to your claim.
Owners, tenants, and businesses inside SCE’s eligibility area may qualify. View SCE’s eligibility map.
SCE offers two paths. Fast Pay uses a streamlined form and produces an offer quickly. A Detailed Review takes more documentation and analysis, and is meant for claims the quick form doesn’t capture.
Fast Pay can be the right choice. But once you accept and sign, the claim is closed for good.
We review your losses with you and help you decide which path fits before anything is final.

No. SCE states that submitting a claim, receiving an offer, and evaluating an offer do not waive your rights. Signing the settlement agreement does, so get advice before you sign.
Yes. We can review your claim and any offer you received, and advise you on next steps before you accept.
Nothing. The consultation is free. If you hire us, we explain our fee in a written agreement before any work begins.
