The victims of the LA fires will need lots of help navigating the insurance claims process. Following the 1991 Oakland Hills fire that destroyed 3,000 homes the insurance companies did everything they could with an army of lawyers and insurance adjusters to avoid paying claims. The dirty secret about insurance companies is that they often deny claims with the understanding that most people won’t appeal a denial or don’t understand the appeals process or policy holders don’t understand that they possess a legally enforceable contract with the insurance companies. Insurance companies can be compelled to fulfill their contactual obligations but it requires lawyers to compel insurance companies.

Insurance is the transfer of risk from an individual or business to an insurance company. Insurance companies have teams of actuaries who mathematically calculate risk. It is from those calculations that insurance companies can formulate insurance premiums for policy holders. Those premiums consider occasional payouts for insurance claims and an operational profit. The insurance companies also hedge their risk by purchasing re-insurance (insurance for insurance companies) from companies like Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway to cover unexpectedly high losses in the event of disaster or large civil lawsuit judgments. Yet, at a time like now in LA, the insurers will do their best to avoid paying claims as much as possible.

The efforts of Humanity First USA is truly commendable and needed for the victims of the LA fire victims!
