Eaton Fire Insurance Claims
The Eaton Fire is unfortunately, another Natural Disaster suffered by us Angelenos. It is critical that homeowners understand their rights and potential claims with their insurance companies, utility companies providing services, and other potential at fault entities.
Homeowners should first file claims with their own insurance policies. Coverages for total loss, partial loss, personal property damage, alternative housing and personal injuries, should be reviewed with your insurance adjuster so that policy limits are paid where appropriate and justified.
What if my insurance denies my claim?
- Insurance carriers must provide denials in writing and must provide the reasons for denial. If your Eaton Fire Insurance Claim has been denied, contact one of our Eaton Fire Insurance Attorneys for a free consultation.
Investigations are ongoing and video has already circulated showing sparks and electronic discharges seemingly coming from SoCal Edison equipment and it is alleged that said sparks initiated the Eaton Fire.
What claims would I potentially have against SoCal Edison or other at-fault entities?
- Cost to repair, if less than the diminution in value suffered by the property
- Annoyance and discomfort damages, including emotional distress or mental anguish caused by the nuisance/hazardous conditions
- Alternative living expenses
- Personal property damage
- If flames did not touch your home, you could still require a deep clean of the exterior and interior of your property to rid the home of Soot and Ash damage.
My office has represented homeowners and businesses from other natural disasters such as the 2008 Station Fire and the more recent Porter Ranch Gas Leak. With the Station Fire, we teamed up with other law firms and were able to hold Farmers Insurance accountable for the thousands of denied claims. We also represented Porter Ranch Gas Leak victims with their personal injury and diminution in value claims. I’ve personally handled mass tort cases and claims since 2008. We stand with homeowners while we seek the justice and compensation you deserve.
