Does Insurance Cover Wildfires?

Yes, insurance does provide coverage for losses in a wildfire to a certain extent.

However, there are often limits to how much someone can receive. There are many cases when the insurance company’s payout falls well short of the actual cost of rebuilding, making repairs, and replacing personal belongings that were damaged or lost.

Our Bay Area wildfire attorneys have the knowledge, the attention to detail, and the resources to take on utility companies and win.

After a wildfire, it’s important that you follow instructions from fire officials.

Once they give you the all clear to return home, do so cautiously and during daylight hours. Wearing eye protection, an N95 mask or respirator, and long sleeves, inspect your property for any structural damage or lingering hotspots from the fire.

When Is Wildfire Season?

Northern California’s wildfire season typically starts in June and runs through October or November.
