Two California Democrats unveiled a bill Monday that they said would allow insurers and policyholders affected by the Los Angeles fires to sue major oil corporations for their alleged role in the disaster.

The devastating Los Angeles wildfires have been blamed on factors ranging from high winds to overgrown brush to budget cuts, but Democratic legislators are pointing the finger at another culprit: the oil-and-gas industry.

California is considering a bill that would allow insurers and victims of climate-driven natural disasters to sue the oil industry for damages.

State Sen. Scott Wiener has introduced a bill that would create a pathway for Californians affected by fires, floods and other climate disasters to sue fossil fuel companies for damages. The bill would also let insurers do the same to recover costs.
