What to Know: Quick Resources for Fire Relief

Press Release: Trial Lawyers provide free legal consultation and resources for victims of fire damage

In the wake of the horrible wildfires that tore across the state in early September and continue to burn, Oregon’s trial lawyers have established a hotline and pro bono resources to support victims of fire-damaged homes, businesses, and property by providing free consultations about insurance claims and next steps. The Oregon Trial Lawyers Association’s fire support services will answer the phones and travel to fire-ravaged communities to help Oregonians recoup their losses and get back on their feet.

Not sure where to begin? These resources should help. Check out the videos embedded below for a quick introduction to where to begin and how to proceed. Dates and locations for in-person consultation events are listed below. COVID-19 precautions are in place and will be strictly adhered to.
