(34) Kenneth Sousa, Elizabeth Sousa, Cody Sousa, and Chad Sousa. 

Claim Nos. 5615, filed on August 6, 2019, 2019–late claims questionnaire.

Kenneth Sousa and Elizabeth Sousa are spouses. They, with their children (Cody Sousa and

Chad Sousa) resided at the real property located at 4543 Brighton Drive, Santa Rosa, CA 95403

during the North Bay Fires. The North Bay Fires displaced claimants and they were forced to

evacuate. As a result of their displacement, they suffered substantial personal damages,

nuisance, and emotional distress–due to proximity of the zone of danger. 

Due to substantial trauma relating to the fires, the family was not aware that their

damages/injuries might be compensable prior to the Extended Bar Date and Claims

Questionnaire deadline expiring. Nevertheless, Claimants submitted Claim No. 5615 for their

damages. However, they were not familiar with the legal process and did not submit a timely

claims questionnaire. 

Due to substantial trauma relating to the fires and losses, Claimants were unaware of the claims

process and how to recover from the FVT. As such, they recently retained counsel to assist them

with their claim. Claimants are requesting authorization from the Court that they be authorized to

submit a claims questionnaire for damages arising from their claim.
