Why Eaton Fire Survivors Are Questioning Edison's Compensation Program
More than 1,800 Southern California Edison customers have applied to a voluntary compensation program tied to the Eaton Fire, which killed 19 people and burned 14,000 acres. Survivors say payout caps are too low and require waiving lawsuits and future health claims, while Edison says the program is meant to resolve claims quickly as the fire’s cause remains under investigation.
