Did you have fire insurance? If so, then your insurance company pays you, and the claim against the electric company, to the extent that there is one, belongs to your insurance carrier, not to you. An attorney who practices civil litigation can help you evaluate this claim, but fire insurance will generally completely negate your ability to pursue it.
