What to Know About Wildfire Insurance Claims
What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover After a Wildfire?
If you’ve been affected by a wildfire, your homeowners insurance policy should help you recover—but knowing exactly what’s covered can be confusing. Most standard policies include:
Structural Repairs: Coverage for damage to walls, roofs, floors, and your home’s foundation.
Smoke & Soot Cleanup: Restoration and deodorization of areas impacted by smoke or toxic residue.
Personal Property Replacement: Compensation for furniture, clothing, electronics, and other personal belongings lost in the fire.
Additional Living Expenses (ALE): Costs for temporary housing, meals, and relocation while your home is being repaired or rebuilt.
It’s critical to review your policy carefully to understand what is—and isn’t—covered, especially in large-scale wildfire events.
Why Wildfire Damage Claims Get Denied
Insurance companies don’t always operate in your best interest. Wildfire claims are often delayed, underpaid, or denied for reasons such as:
Policy Exclusions: Some policies limit or exclude certain types of wildfire damage altogether.
Insufficient Documentation: Without clear photos, receipts, or proof of loss, your claim could be denied or minimized.
Negligence Claims: If the insurer believes the property owner didn’t take reasonable steps to reduce risk, the claim may be challenged.
Coverage Gaps: Many homeowners don’t realize their policy doesn’t reflect current rebuilding costs, leading to underpaid claims.
Understanding these issues early—and how insurers may try to avoid full responsibility—can help you prepare and protect your rights.
What to Do After a Wildfire Loss
The steps you take immediately after a wildfire can significantly affect the outcome of your insurance claim:
Notify Your Insurer Right Away: Most policies require prompt reporting of any loss.
Document the Damage: Take clear, dated photos and videos of all affected property and belongings.
Get the Fire Department Report: The official report supports your claim and shows the extent and origin of the damage.
Track Every Expense: Save receipts for lodging, meals, and emergency items while you’re displaced.
Avoid Cleanup Before Documentation: Removing damaged items too soon may weaken your claim.
Consult a Fire Loss Litigation Attorney: If your insurer delays, denies, or underpays, a wildfire lawyer can protect your rights and help you recover fair compensation.
