Good News from the Attorney front

Tweet

I had emailed the attorneys that I was hoping to hire to handle my lawsuit against the power company that burned down my home. I wasn't holding my breath because of the amount of time that had passed, I figured that they wouldn't want to be bothered. This afternoon my phone rang, and I grabbed it and checked who was calling. It was the attorneys!!! The legal aide wanted a few questions answered. I filled her in on what had happened and that it wasn't a large number of structures that had been destroyed or damaged. (She wanted the name of the fire) I then told her that I had copies of the paperwork from the California Division of Forestry, who had fought the fire, and other paperwork that might help them decide. She brightened enormously and asked me to email it to her. Yeah right!!! There is about 50 pages, and I don't have a scanner. I told her that, though she didn't quite comprehend that NOT everyone has a scanner and can send things via email. But I finally got it through to her that I would locate the paperwork and get it packaged and sent to them. As I told her, I can't afford to allow the power company to destroy my life and not get any restitution from the loss. After all everything, including my beloved critters, was destroyed. The fire started from a surge from one of their pieces of equipment that had been in place for over 40 years (they never did any work on the wiring while I lived there the 40 years). The fire went into my breaker boxes and started the place on fire. I was in town at the time and came home to seeing the flames reaching into the sky. So, maybe, from all the disaster I might get some restitution and maybe even an "We're sorry we burned down your home." Keep your fingers crossed for me!
