Wildfires continue to be national front-page news, be it the destruction caused by the fires themselves or the litigation that lasts for years after the fire has been suppressed. In the latest “Subro on the Go” podcast episode, hosts Joe Rich and David Brisco are joined by Howard Maycon, lead counsel for the subrogation industry in almost all of the major California wildfires, to discuss one aspect of wildfire cases – the early investigation stage. Part of the early investigation involves gathering all available data to aid in narrowing the general area of fire origin as part of the overall process in trying to determine its cause. This includes, for example, the significant amount of witness and social media photo and video data available and how the images themselves and corresponding metadata are utilized to help prove the cause of a wildfire.
