Energy Companies Being Sued For Causing California Wildfires - Duration: 8:48.
Officials say that the Camp Fire wildfire in the state of California has officially
been contained at this point.
There are still areas that are ablaze, but they believe that they have controlled the
fire enough to where it's not going to continue to spread.
Now that one nightmare is over, another nightmare is about to begin for the victims of this
wildfire and that is the legal landscape, the insurance landscape that they're now going
to have to navigate.
And joining me now to talk about this is Scott Hardy from top class actions.
Scott, you know, I live on the Gulf coast.
We've gone through hurricanes and every time that disaster ends, we all have to go through
the nightmare that is the insurance.
There's always lots of lawsuits because insurance companies don't want to pay.
We're about to see the exact same thing happen in the state of California, aren't we?
That's exactly right Farron.
And you know, we've seen the, we saw that the Thomas Fire burned more than 300,000 acres
and now with the recent Camp Fire, which was one of the largest wildfires, deadliest wildfire
in California history and so much loss of life, homes and businesses that people are
going to be going through a huge nightmare to try to get compensated even if they are
well insured and that's really scary for someone that may have lost literally everything to
then go to their insurance company and have problems.
One of the issues that we've seen and, and there's actually multiple different lawsuits,
but we'll focus on insurance for the moment, is the fact that in the state you have to
have a special kind of fire insurance in addition to your regular policy.
So if you do not have the special wildfire insurance, you might not be covered.
Or in some instances if the fire, you know, partially burns a tree, but then the tree
falls down on your house.
They may say, no, that's not fire insurance.
Insurance companies are always going to try to find a way to say, no, we're not responsible
for what has happened here.
And that's what causes a lot of the litigation because obviously if you are well covered
with all of your insurances, somebody is going to have to pay, but no insurance company,
you know, you may have fire through one home for another, they want to say the other one
is responsible and start this back and forth that many times can take months and sometimes
even a few years to properly navigate.
And that's what's kind of happening at the moment.
Right, exactly.
And it's something that we see that's really interesting as people are going through the
claims process, as they say, Hey, I've got the right fire insurance, I've got my homeowner's
insurance.
I am covered.
I dont have anything to worry about.
Why would I want to involve a lawyer?
Why would I want to go ahead and talk with anyone else, my insurance company has me.
But as you mentioned, the insurance company, they're trying to make sure that, that you're,
that you're covered and they're going to cover you to the limits of your coverage.
But many, many, many, many people.
In fact, what we're hearing, a lot of this, most people, especially in an expensive area
to live like California, they're under insured.
And so they won't even know that they're under insured until they've actually gone through
the process of, they've submitted their claims, they're claims been approved and now their
house is getting rebuilt.
Okay, great.
But they received $500,000 to rebuild their house and in fact right now it's going to
cost them $750,000 because remember, especially with this Camp Fire and the fire that blew
through Malibu, you're going to have a lot of people that are all going to be, try to
re rebuild at the same time and so that person might run out of coverage in terms of having
a rental house available or having a hotel to stay in as they're waiting for their house
to get rebuilt.
They might have had all of these 200, 100 plus year old oak trees that are sitting there
on their property that were beautiful and now they've been wiped out and they're insurance
company won't cover it.
And so what a lawyer will be able to do is they'll be able to help people get to their
insurance company, try to make sure that they get paid, that you're compensated to get their
actual house replaced, and those trees replaced.
And then as we've seen from the Camp Fire, as we've seen from the Thomas Fire, PG&E the
utility company out there has already admitted fault for starting these fires.
And so you've got people that lost everything.
It wasn't their fault.
They're properly insured and the utility provider may have been able to do some things to help
lower the risk or even stop the fire from happening if they had done proper maintenance
on their power poles, the utility boxes, et Cetera.
And so that's one more area that an attorney can help a homeowner with or a business owner
to try to make sure that the fully compensated for their losses.
And that's the most important thing, is getting fully compensated for your losses.
So you're taken care of and not sitting there with a half done house or having to pay out
of pocket while you're waiting for your house to be rebuilt or having to figure out how
to, you know, if you lost your business now what are you going to do.
I've already received reports from business owners, from the Camp Fire that said I lost
everything.
Now the people are gone, my business has gone.
I had insurance, but what do I do?
And that's where a lawyer come in and try to help you out.
Right?
I mean, that's a long stretch of not having your business operating.
You lose a ton of money.
And as you pointed out, PG&E, you know, that's the other, the other lawsuit and that one
little bit more tricky because right now PG&E, as you said, they've admitted that it was
their fault.
Reports have come out and shown that they actually knew that their equipment was faulty.
We've known that for several years actually, and several other massive wildfires have been
attributed to faulty, uh, I guess transformers or what have you, from PG&E, but as of, I
believe a couple of days ago, the legislature in the state of California is actually working
on new legislation that's going to allow PG&E to shift the costs of wildfire clean up and
the resulting lawsuits back onto the customers.
So here we have people have lost everything.
They have to go through the nightmare of dealing with insurance companies and possibly lawsuits
against PG&E and then even if they get through both of those, now the third strike against
the consumers who literally did nothing wrong, they might have to pay for the costs of this
to PG&E in the form of higher utility bills.
That's what's happening in the state of California right now in their legislature as we still
have, I think 500, 400 missing people and the legislature is worried about protecting
the utility company, not protecting the consumers.
Right?
It's a real travesty that you've got the utility trying to watch their own butts and make the
people who actually suffered through this whole tragedy and that lost everything and
they're going to try to make them pay twice.
I mean it's, it's a real sad shape of affairs in California where the legislators are backing
the utility rather than their own constituents to make sure that their constituents actually
have a place to live in again and can rebuild their lives after having a devastating loss
like this instead of backing the power company to try to make sure that they can dig a hole
out of it themselves.
When you know that power company is very well insured and there'll be able to pay off these
claims, they'll be able to take care of it, but the average person who lost everything,
it's not going to go as well for them unless they get help.
Right there's too many people that will probably never be made completely whole again after
this fire.
Obviously that includes the families who lost loved ones in it; who still have missing loved
ones.
But even if you were lucky enough to have your and your whole family survive, the chances
of being made completely whole again from this because of the influence that companies
like PG&E have in California, those chances are slim.
The only chance you have is through the trial lawyers is through these class action lawsuits
because that is one of the only ways that these companies, whether it's insurance or
utility, that they're actually going to be held accountable and pay for what they've
done to the state.
Scott Hardy, listen, this is a great story.
I appreciate everything you do with this.

And Scott Hardy, always a pleasure talking to you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you Farron.

Chinese reaction: "Chinese no trespass" on Korean Jeju convenience store! - Duration: 5:36.
Chinese reaction: "Chinese no trespass" on Korean Jeju convenience store! (Translated by google.com)
The Korean resort area "September Eleven of Jeju Island" had a sticker labeled "Chinese entrance".
Criticism against Korea is rising all at once by the Chinese when the movie appears on China net.
The Chinese called the store owner of this store, but the shopkeeper notified the Seven Eleven headquarters because it did not answer the phone.
As a result, an order came out from the Seven-Eleven headquarters to the store, which was forcibly excluded.
Afterwards when the vice chairman of the Chinese Association of Jeju Island visited the shop, I confirmed that the sticky paper was peeled off.
However, when the photographer contacted the Seven-Eleven headquarters several times, he said that "There is no person in charge" and he was unable to get involved.
Following inappropriate posting of the store, anger has been spurred on the Chinese net as inappropriate measures were also taken at the Seven-Eleven headquarters side.
Korean media has not reported in detail so far, but reported on the exchange between shopkeepers and Chinese customers.
According to the Korean media, he insisted that he stuck a stick because he was angered that Chinese customers threw coins when counting money.
Article Source: http://bit.ly/2KCTdJv http://bit.ly/2KCewLc http://bit.ly/2BAXTge
China's reaction
Korean people just think that the Chinese are arrogant. I think the Chinese will still come to visit.
Do you remember? Lotte 's president said that when China excluded Korea before, "It will be OK, they will return again as long as price cuts."
When the relationship between Japan and China was tense, I made a statement that "Japanese and dogs should not enter." Actually, even if there are such things, you do not have to worry too much.
I have never been to Korea, but I do not want to go to Japan or Italy as well. I want to see only the wonderful landscape of my country.
I am going to hang a tag at the entrance of my shop. "Koreans can not enter but dogs can enter"
What Korean people do not know what virtue is?
Let's support North Korea depriving Jeju Island and signs. "Koreans are prohibited from entering the island"
For historical reasons many people do not like Chinese people.
Let's understand the cause first.
Are we Chinese people despised by people like this if they go abroad?
A rich man walks around everywhere, buys things, people who do not have money abuse and repel everywhere.
It is not enough to justify the behavior of one shop in this small country to be rude. Korea is increasing by traveling to Korea and consuming it.
Seven Eleven will save money by using money. Otherwise, Seven Eleven will soon go bankrupt in China.
I resisted Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, but now I'm ashamed.
Italy is not a mistake. The memory of the Chinese is very short.
Lotte's president said that the Chinese will come back if you lower the price when you exclaim Lotte,
After a while, Chinese people overflowed to duty free shops.
I remembered the name of the APA hotel in Japan but refused, but the Chinese were unable to resist for several months.
Comment Quoted from: http://bit.ly/2KCTdJv
The idea of Japanese editors
I posted Korean media reports and Korean comments, but I'm going to ask the Chinese side.
There are slight differences in the coverage, and the Chinese side does not explain why the Korean shopkeeper issued such a sticker.
As for the Chinese side, he did not intend to dig deeper, and he seemed to want to tell the mismanagement between shopkeepers and headquarters side.
Meanwhile, the South Korean side has not reported the incompetence of the Seven-Eleven headquarters. It may be that he reported only the abstract of Seven Eleven without having covered so far.
In China, various boycottes have happened, but it seems that there is only a faint memory, as it is no longer a story of the past.
Nevertheless Lotte also had pressure from the government to withdraw to supermarkets and department stores.
Seven Eleven probably will not be that big. The energy that keeps burning the flames of anger does not seem to continue.
It is not like a pizza with Italian companies' chopsticks because it is not reported in the main media of China.
Meanwhile, Korea is also making noise with some media, but this also seems not to spread so much.
Historically, Korea still has hatred against China,
It will not make a fuss about this time, and it will not be wanted as Seven Eleven or Jeju Island.
Thank you for your viewing.

24 Reasons Buckaroo Banzai & Ant-Man and the Wasp Are The Same Movie - Duration: 3:42.
Hey guys.
Hope you enjoy this week's video.
Also, fyi, head over to my patreon and show support and you'll receive access to upcoming
videos in advance.
As always, your support is greatly appreciated.
Fun fact, both of these movies contain characters and plots that can be found in Marvel Comics.
The heroes in the movie moonlight as a rock band and plays 80s classics during their free
time.
When they're on the clock though, they're constantly researching complex science theories
that could better mankind in their portable lab.
A hero and a scientist mentor make a breakthrough in interdimensional travel.
They've created a vehicle that could take you from our reality all the way through another
dimension.
This type of science shouldn't be medaled with by man and we get an example why when
the hero notices living objects could become quantumly entangled with other things that
exit the other realm.
Haters gonna say it's fake, but not the main hater in the movie.
The Doctor's old partner learns about the recent breakthroughs in science and wants
to use the research for his own selfish purposes.
A flashback is shown of a horrible science experiment gone wrong.
Lots of people get hurt and worst of all, one of the people involved in the accident
suffers with supernatural side effects and now the old partner believes if he steals
the good guy's research, he'll be able to fix everything.
The bad guy sends henchman to steal the hero's technology.
A fight breaks out and bullets start flying like ba da da da dat dat dat.
With so much innocent bystanders around, the hero takes the fight to the backroom where
only the chefs who are on the clock can get hurt.
The thief grabs the doctor and points a weapon to his throat and is all like, give me all
your technology and research and if you don't, your throat is going to be so freakin' soar
tomorrow morning.
There's a scene in the movie where the hero gets a message from the woman in the other
dimension.
After this, the hero, his scientist mentor and the pretty lady, and the hero's rag
tag group of friends join forces to save the world.
They may have good intentions, but they're all bad influences on each other.
For example, they suck as role models and it rubs off on the little kid in the movie
who has no respect for adults and they're bad influence rubs off on the female lead
too.
She gets put in jail and the hero has to help her get out which is why she never learns
her lesson about not doing the crime if you're not able to do the time.
After they're back on the streets, they pursue the bad guys.
A car chase scene happens and it's really weird because the vans in the movie are somehow
faster than the motorcycle and you know that would never happen in real life.
The villains in the movie will do anything to crack the secrets of interdimensional travel
and if they heroes don't give up their research willingly, they bad guys have a truth serum
that should do the trick (audio).
Later on, the bad guys have the good guys right where they want them.
They make the love interest a damsel in distress when a parasite from the other dimension feeds
on her life force.
The quantum leaping vehicle is put on the track and the heroes save the day and everyone
lives happily ever after.
For now at least, because the movie teases an upcoming installment in the franchise during
the credits so it's just a matter of time before they're life's in danger and they'll
have to save the world again.
Those are 24 reasons these movies are the same.
You agree?
Yes, no, maybe so?
If not, politely share your thoughts in the comment section below and click the subscribe
