Aloha Ohana, We are writing to provide you with the latest update on your case concerning the devastating fires on Maui in August of 2023, and the ongoing legal actions against Hawaiian Electric (HECO) and other potential defendants. To give you a comprehensive update, I have prepared a detailed video, which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/GRRLoe6EVO4 In the video, I discuss the current status of our active mediation and negotiations with HECO, the primary defendant in your case. We know that HECO shut off the power during the windstorm, which led to downed power lines. An employee then flipped a switch that ignited the fire, causing the extensive damage to Lahaina. We are holding HECO accountable for the trauma, loss of property, and other damages you have suffered. We are determined to ensure that HECO is held liable and that you receive the money damages you deserve to help you rebuild your life. Our new office at Whalers Village is now open, and Aurora is available to assist you. Please visit our office so we can gather all necessary details to present your case effectively in our negotiations with HECO. It is crucial that everyone affected by this tragedy comes forward to ensure they are represented. If you know anyone who has not yet taken action, please encourage them to visit our office and speak with Aurora. It is essential to demand accountability and secure the compensation rightfully owed to you.If you have any questions, feel free to text me directly at 858-922-1487. We are here to support you through this process, and I will continue to provide updates as we move forward. Thank you for your patience and trust. We will send another update next week to keep you informed of any new developments. Mahalo, Andrew Van Arsdale |
