What does this claims data include?
Claims filed include home, business, living expenses, and other disaster-related claims related to the Eaton and Palisades Fires.
This data includes immediate payments issued under laws requiring advance payments to speed recovery. This data does not include property rebuilding or debris removal which will grow as rebuilding gets underway.
Commissioner Lara issued a Bulletin on January 23 ordering insurance companies to provide advance funds for replacing personal property or contents in an amount that is 30 percent of the policy’s dwelling limit, up to $250,000, without requiring the policyholder to file an itemized claim (AB 3012, 2020), and an advance payment of no less than four months of living expenses (SB 872, 2020).
The data is from insurance companies, including the FAIR Plan, representing most admitted residential and commercial property insurers and surplus lines writers.
The Department of Insurance is collecting data directly from insurance companies to show insurance companies’ progress toward paying claims from Southern California wildfires. Department led workshops on January 18-19 and January 25-26 in the impacted areas helped facilitate the expeditious processing of claims for some consumers. Our experts can help you file a claim so you can start the recovery and rebuilding process, rent an apartment, and replace destroyed property.
