Prepare to make an Insurance Claim
- Keep all receipts during your evacuation.
- Policy provisions, including deductibles, vary by company, and residents should check with their insurance company or agent as soon as possible to confirm coverage, limits, and any other limitations and documentation requirements. Most renter’s policies also typically include Additional Living Expense (ALE) coverage.
- Document the date, time, and names of any insurance company employees you speak to regarding your coverage.
- Consumers should make sure any insurance agent or public adjuster offering their services has a valid license by checking online with the Department of Insurance.
- Download the Department’s Top 10 Tips for Wildfire Claimants (also available in Spanish, Mandarin, and Vietnamese), which includes information about claiming ALE benefits.
- Under existing law, public adjusters cannot solicit business for seven calendar days after a disaster.
- Don’t forget copies of insurance policies, important papers, and a photo or video inventory of your possessions. An inventory can be completed quickly and easily on your smartphone and safely stored in the Cloud.
Report Suspected Price Gouging
If you make purchases or hire help after a declared emergency, keep detailed records. If you suspect price gouging, try to compare the prices you paid for ones prior to the declared emergency. You can check prices in areas not affected by the disaster. If you think that you are a victim of price gouging, save your receipts and call the LA Department of Consumer and Business Affairs at (800) 593-8222 or file an online complaint.
