How To Bring A Wildfire Damage And Injury Claim In California

The scale of damage caused by fires can be very overwhelming. You might have lost your home, job, and personal items. You can still file a claim for money if you’ve suffered losses, injury, or damage. Before you file a claim for injuries and fire damage, you should do the following:

  • Collect all the information that shows what you did on the day or night of the fire. Your insurance claim can be refused if the insurance company can prove that you caused your own accidents and damage. Your insurance might refuse your claim if it decides the losses are not connected to the fire.
  • Gather all the invoices and receipts connected to the wildfires. This includes bills for cleaning services, invoices from home repair workers, contracts for temporary housing, rental car charges, and fees for getting rid of trash.
  • Keep a record of everything, including any injuries or losses you have. Make sure to keep copies of your medical papers, doctor’s notes, and treatment plans. Go back to your home and take pictures or videos of any damage to your property if it’s safe.
  • Please provide a list of everything you lost in the blaze, including personal items and any lost income. Be sure to include the dates and how much you paid for each item. Having this record can help when making a claim for burning damage. This paper shows proof of the damage.
  • Contact our attorneys for wildfire injuries right away if you’ve been hurt in a blaze. We’ll create a strong case to prevent the insurance company from rejecting or holding up your claim.
