Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon Wildfire Damages Claims Update and Negligence Refresher (2023)



Credits : 1.0 G
Originally presented on July 27, 2023, as part of the 2023 Annual Meeting

Carol Suzuki discusses options to claim relief after the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon fires. In 2022, U.S. Forest Service prescribed burns got out of control and combined to become a wildfire whose devastation has led to claims of personal injury, loss of property, business loss, and financial loss. She reminds attendees of the elements of negligence as she provides an update on the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act and regulations and compares it to the Federal Torts Claims Act.

Speaker: Prof. Carol M. Suzuki, UNM School of Law
