How Did the Marshall Fire Start?

The cause of the Marshall Fire is still under investigation but preliminary reports and available evidence (including video) indicate that sparks from a malfunctioning powerline owned and operated by Xcel Energy started the ground fire which ultimately destroyed nearly 1,100 homes, over 6,000 acres, and took the lives of at least two people. Sadly, the Marshall Fire also became the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history.

Robins Cloud LLP plans to file a lawsuit against Xcel Energy to hold the utility company accountable for its alleged failure to properly maintain, construct, and/or inspect its electrical equipment as required under the law, and to recover maximum compensation for the people and businesses who were impacted by the devastating Marshall Fire.

Marshall Fire Lawsuit: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance to file a lawsuit for Marshall Fire damages?

No, you do not need to have insurance to file a lawsuit against Xcel Energy or other responsible parties for losses caused by the Marshall Fire. Both insured and uninsured property owners, renters, and business owners may be eligible to pursue compensation for damages, including property loss, personal injury, business interruption, and emotional distress. Even if you were underinsured or had no insurance at all, you can still seek legal recovery for your losses.

Can I file a lawsuit if I’ve already received FEMA or insurance help?

Yes, you can file a lawsuit even if you have already received assistance from FEMA or your insurance company. However, any compensation you receive from a lawsuit may be offset by the amounts already paid by FEMA or your insurer. It’s important to keep detailed records of all payments and assistance received, as this information will be needed to calculate your total damages and avoid double recovery. Many Marshall Fire victims are underinsured, so a lawsuit can help recover the full amount of your losses beyond what FEMA or insurance has covered.

How long do I have to file a Marshall Fire lawsuit?

The deadline to file a lawsuit related to the Marshall Fire depends on the type of claim and the defendant. For insurance-related lawsuits in Colorado, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of loss, which means most insurance claims must be filed by December 30, 2024. Lawsuits against Xcel Energy or other third parties may have different deadlines, but it is critical to act quickly and consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed on time. An attorney will need time to review your case, gather documents, and draft the necessary paperwork before the deadline.

What if I live out of state but own property in the Marshall Fire zone?

You can still file a lawsuit if you live out of state but own property that was damaged or destroyed by the Marshall Fire in Colorado. Legal standing is based on property ownership or other interests in the affected area, not your place of residence. Out-of-state property owners, landlords, and business owners are eligible to pursue claims for property damage, loss of rental income, or other economic losses resulting from the fire.
