LA Fires Revive Trauma For Homeowners Battling Insurance Claims

Live Mint  

-- Annie Compton had just put her two young daughters to bed when she heard pounding on the front door. “Climate change is definitely causing there to be more claims,” said Amy Bach, executive director of United Policyholders, a consumer advocacy group that focuses on the insurance industry. “It’s not uncommon for insurance companies to dispute the value of your personal belongings, unless you can demonstrate through receipts and through pictures what are those valuables or personal belongings that you have,” Asadourian said. “It’s too much for the average person to understand.” Tinti ultimately escalated her claim to the California Department of Insurance, a state regulator, that provided a mediator to help resolve her claim. “It’s important that people understand their policies,” said Rebekah Nelson, catastrophe commutations director for USAA.
