Summary
A new ad campaign backed by California utility giants like SoCal Edison and PG&E is sparking outrage among wildfire survivors. Posing as a victim advocacy group called “Wildfire Victims First,” the campaign urges homeowners to surrender personal data to supposedly fight soaring insurance costs. But critics suspect it’s a corporate ploy to pressure lawmakers into capping settlement payouts, lawyer fees, and pain-and-suffering claims—directly shielding utilities from massive liabilities. While the group claims to protect victims from greedy attorneys taking 40% of settlements and boasts backing from 250+ organizations, many see the effort as deeply offensive and a dangerous manipulation of public sentiment to push corporate-friendly policy changes.
