The Eder lawsuit? They putting Hawaiian Electric on blast. Say they should’ve cut their power after National Weather Service gave them the heads up ๐ŸŒฆโš ๏ธ. They had days to prep, especially with Hurricane Dora lurking around, even though it was kinda dodging Hawaii.

But they ainโ€™t move right, and now, lives lost, places burnt down, and some of Hawaiiโ€™s prized spots? Damaged. ๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ’”

The Washington Post even threw in their two cents, quoting Jennifer Potter. She used to be with the state Public Utilities Commission and stays in Lahaina. She was like, Hawaiian Electric? They ain’t done enough to fight these fire threats.

Then, they pulled out this 2019 press release from Hawaiian Electric. Said they were on their grind to keep folks and their electrical systems safe from wildfires. They even had this plan to study Cali’s wildfire setups, peep Hawaiiโ€™s hot zones, and make sure no lines were sparking up when winds get wild. ๐ŸŒฌ๐Ÿ”Œ

When the Honolulu Star-Advertiser came asking questions, Jim Kelly, repping Hawaiian Electric, kept it a buck. Said they ain’t got no power shut-off game in place.

๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ’ฅ Lawyers Target Hawaiian Electric for Maui Catastrophe

Several law firms are now setting their sights ๐Ÿ” on Hawaiian Electric, accusing the company of being behind the massive disaster in Lahaina that led to a devastating fire. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Two lawsuits have been launched against the utility company, alleging they’re responsible for the wind-driven blaze ๐ŸŒช๐Ÿ”ฅ that resulted in the deaths of more than 96 people and ravaged properties estimated to be worth around $5.6 billion.

It’s anticipated that more legal actions will be coming forward. Lawyers are aiming to get Hawaii’s prominent electric company to compensate victims. This situation resembles a previous lawsuit against Californiaโ€™s PG&E Corp. over a separate fire incident.

The exact cause of the Lahaina fire remains undetermined. The toll from Hawaiiโ€™s most tragic event since achieving statehood might still grow. ๐ŸŒดโ˜ ๏ธ

Following its policy, Hawaiian Electric refrained from making any comments on Sunday regarding the ongoing lawsuits. ๐Ÿค

Three days post the Lahaina devastation, two cases were electronically filed in court. One was lodged in the Oahu Circuit Court, representing Monica and Rede Eder, backed by three different law firms. One is based in Honolulu and the other two in California. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ“œ

Another lawsuit was filed in the Maui Circuit Court on behalf of a local named Nova Burnes, supported by three Oahu-based law firms.

An attorney associated with the Ederโ€™s case, Alexander โ€œTreyโ€ Robertson IV, is also involved in another lawsuit representing around 7,000 plaintiffs against Southern California Edison Co. over a 2018 fire in California known as the Woolsey fire. ๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ”ฅ

The Eder lawsuit alleges that Hawaiian Electric should’ve powered down their lines after receiving warnings from the National Weather Service ๐ŸŒฆโš ๏ธ. They were alerted days in advance about possible โ€œdamaging winds & fire weatherโ€, especially with Hurricane Dora being in proximity, even though it was veering away from Hawaii.

Their alleged failure to act under these risky conditions, the lawsuit claims, led to the loss of lives, injuries, widespread destruction, and damages to Hawaiiโ€™s historic and cultural landmarks. ๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ’”

Supporting the Eder lawsuit, references were made to news reports discussing fire hazards in Lahaina and risks associated with hurricanes. ๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿ“ฐ

A piece from the Washington Post cited a statement by Jennifer Potter, a former member of the state Public Utilities Commission residing in Lahaina. She claimed that Hawaiian Electric hadnโ€™t made significant moves to tackle fire threats.

The lawsuit also highlighted a 2019 press release from Hawaiian Electric where they mentioned their efforts to safeguard the public and electrical systems from wildfires. Their strategies included studying wildfire mitigation plans from major California utilities, analyzing potential fire risk zones in Hawaii, and ensuring electrical lines were safeguarded from creating sparks in high wind areas. ๐ŸŒฌ๐Ÿ”Œ

However, the lawsuit points out that while major California utilities have been implementing โ€œpublic safety power shutoffsโ€ during severe weather conditions, Hawaiian Electric doesnโ€™t have such protocols in place.

Inquiries from the Honolulu Star-Advertiser revealed that Jim Kelly, a spokesperson for Hawaiian Electric, confirmed that the company doesn’t have any preemptive power shut-off plan in place.

The reason for the Lahaina fire is still undetermined. Yet, the Eder lawsuit hints at a reported brush fire near a Hawaiian Electric substation, where a power line was also reported down, early on a Tuesday morning. ๐Ÿ˜ฌโšก

Another lawsuit, while not as detailed, suggests that gusts of wind led trees and branches to snap and disrupt Hawaiian Electricโ€™s power lines, igniting the fire that devastated Lahaina and affected Kula areas. ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ’จ

More lawsuits are anticipated.

On Thursday, a California-based law firm announced their intention to represent victims of the Maui fire. Having previously represented over 12,000 fire victims and securing roughly $2 billion for them, they believe they have the experience needed.

Reports from Bloomberg News suggest that multiple law firms believe Hawaiian Electricโ€™s infrastructure failures led to the devastating fires in Lahaina.

In a heartwarming gesture, Frantz Law, in collaboration with a Honolulu-based firm, donated $100,000 to aid fire recovery efforts in Maui. Their leaders expressed their profound condolences to affected families. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™

Hawaiian Electric, a company with a legacy dating back to 1891, provides electricity to every Hawaiian county except Kauai.

Despite the ongoing lawsuits, the company’s focus remains on aiding emergency response teams in Maui and restoring power to affected areas as swiftly as possible.

As of Sunday, they’ve managed to restore power to over 60% of their Maui clientele who had been without electricity since the tragic Tuesday. Efforts continue to bring power back to around 5,000 clients in both Upcountry and West Maui areas. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
