LA Fire Justice announced Friday that they will host an Eaton Fire Town Hall on Tuesday at the Pasadena Masonic Temple. Asof that day, there will be only 100 days left to file a case against Southern California Edison. The statute of limitations is January7, 2027. After that date, survivors lose certain rights to sue Edison forever. 
A statute of limitations is a legal deadline for filing a lawsuit. For Eaton Fire survivors, this deadline applies to personal injury,
emotional distress, and wrongful death claims, which could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for a family. Once thedeadline passes, those claims can no longer be filed. 
Many displaced Eaton Fire survivors still don’t know this deadline exists. They deserve to have that information so they canmake their own decision about whether to hire a lawyer and sue Edison. The lawsuit represents one of the most meaningful waysbillions of dollars could flow back into this devastated community, and without those resources, it may be hard for Altadena torebuild. Every impacted person should have the chance to be part of it before time runs out. 
Southern California Edison has reported billions in profits while thousands of Eaton Fire families are still rebuilding their lives.
In 2025, the same year Altadena burned, Edison International reported earnings of $4.5 billion, and its CEO, Pedro Pizarro,
received total compensation of $16.6 million. 
Despite these massive profits, Edison continues to offer victims a small fraction of what their claims are worth via its WildfireRecovery Compensation plan. A December 2025 report from the Eaton Fire Survivors Network (EFSN) found that the programdoes not make survivors whole for documented losses or reflect the true cost of rebuilding. 
Attorneys Mikal Watts and Doug Boxer and LA Fire Justice CEO Chris Holden will walk through where the litigation currentlystands and what families, friends, and neighbors need to know before January 7.
