Wildfire Damage Options

OPTION 1:    Do You Have Fire Insurance?

As an insured property owner, you must file a claim with your insurance provider to initiate the recovery process. Retaining experienced wildfire litigation counsel can significantly improve your claim's outcome by:

  1. Proper Claim Preparation
  • Ensuring accurate documentation to prevent wrongful denials or delays
  • Reconstructing lost property records through alternative evidence methods
  1. Insurance Negotiation
  • Advocating for full policy benefits under California insurance code provisions
  • Counteracting low settlement offers with professional valuation methods
  1. Comprehensive Recovery
  • Securing compensation for:
    • Structural rebuilding at current construction rates
    • Personal property replacement (CC § 3302)
    • Bodily injury claims (smoke inhalation/burn injuries)
    • Additional living expenses (ALE) during displacement
  1. Legal Enforcement
  • Preparing bad faith claims under § 790.03(h) if benefits are improperly withheld
  • Filing timely litigation within California's 12-month statute of limitations for fire claims (CCP § 340)
Critical Considerations:
  • Insurers retain defense counsel - you deserve equal representation
  • The claims process involves complex policy interpretation
  • Strict deadlines apply to preserve all recovery options
We provide complimentary case evaluations to:
✓ Analyze your policy coverage
✓ Explain applicable deadlines
✓ Outline optimal recovery strategies

Policyholders have rights under California law - we ensure insurers honor them.
