SALINAS, Calif. , Aug. 14, 2025 -- Brittnie Panetta, a respected mass torts attorney with the nationwide firm, Matthews & Associates, has authored an article for Bloomberg Insights titled "California Wildfire Puts Mass Tort Lawyers on Government's Side." In the piece, she offers a compelling analysis of the Eaton fire litigation against Southern California Edison, breaking down what mass tort attorneys, particularly those representing communities impacted by corporate negligence in wildfire zones, can learn from the case.
Panetta has represented wildfire victims across California and has built a reputation as a trusted advocate in high-profile cases against major utilities.
Says Panetta: "As a society, we should work to mitigate and even prevent this type of devastation from happening again through better regulations and more effective avenues for relief when a wildfire, earthquake, tornado, or other disaster does occur."
On this same topic, Panetta was also featured in the article "What Happens to Your Mortgage if Your House is Destroyed?" on NerdWallet. The piece highlights Brittnie's deep understanding of how insurance, liability, and mortgage obligations intersect after disaster strikes, knowledge she's gained from years of advocating for clients who have lost everything due to utility-sparked fires.
