Mendocino Complex: Fire and Ash Property Damage Attorney

California is known for its unfortunate fire season. Over seventeen wildfires are ravaging through the state; one of these fires is the Mendocino Complex Fire. The Mendocino Complex Fire is made up of two smaller fires—the Ranch Fire and River Fire. In total, the Mendocino Complex Fire has blazed through roughly 290,000, putting the fire number one on the list of largest recorded wildfire in California’s history. The Mendocino Complex Fire has destroyed approximately 200 structures; however, these numbers could increase as the fire continues to burn.

How Fire and Ash could Damage Your Property

Without a doubt, California wildfires often result in extensive damage to property throughout the affected communities. However, many people only consider the most obvious damage—fire or burn damage. If your property is engulfed in flames either fully or partially, it is likely that it sustains irreversible damage. Many people lose everything they once owned in these fires. If a fire burns through your home but does not completely destroy it, your home could have been left extensively damaged. However, your home could have been damaged even if the fire did not blaze through your home. For instance, a burning ember from a nearby fire could travel a few yards and land on your roof, resulting in some sort of damage.

Many people believe that ash is harmless; however, it can cause extensive damage to your property. For instance, ash can layer on any drapery or cloth materials in and around your home; the same could happen with your furniture (indoor and outdoor furniture alike). If your home has any attics or small crawlspaces, they could be damaged if ash builds up within the area. The same can occur with any drains that are exposed to the ash. If your home is equipped with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the system could also be damaged after exposure to ash or ash buildup. The filters and pumps in swimming pools or any other filtered bodies of waters (such as artificial ponds in your home) could also be damaged by the ash. Even your yard could be affected by the ash resulting from the fire.

The ash could also damage any vehicles you own. If vehicles are parked outside, they are likely to be covered in a thick layer of ash. Ash could contain small particles that could ruin the surface of your vehicles if not cautiously removed. Regardless of what property was damaged as a result of fire and ash, you must speak with a Mendocino Complex Fire and Ash property damage lawyer as soon as possible. The experienced attorneys at Normandie Law Firm will provide you with all the information that you need to pursue your property damage claim.

Do you have the Right to Sue?

You have the right to file a property damage claim if the Mendocino Complex Fire affected your property in any way. Whether your property sustained fire or ash damage, you have the right to file a claim. You could file a claim against your insurance company if your insurance coverage includes fire damage. Unfortunately, many insurance companies are not helpful after wildfires. Although they might help you relocate and get back on your feet, they might not provide you with the compensation that you deserve after they complete their investigation. Although you pay for coverage, providing you with any compensation is a loss for the insurance company; therefore, they will perseveringly search for reasons to make your claim ineligible for compensation. Even if your insurance company denies your claim, you could trust our attorneys to file a lawsuit against them and help you recover the compensation that you deserve. Our experienced fire and ash property damage attorneys will not rest until your claim reaches a successful outcome and you recover the compensation that you deserve.

The Available Compensation

A successful claim could result in recovering the compensation that you deserve. Without a doubt, you could be compensated for all the damage that your property sustained. You could also be compensated for the expenses you incurred as a result of the property damage, such as expenses for a rental car, a motel, or a rental home, for instance. If you had to pay out of pocket for fire inspections or routine services required after a fire, you could also be compensated. For more information about how you could be compensated, you must contact our property damage lawyers for property damage from Mendocino Complex wildfire. Our lawyers will provide you with all the information you need to pursue your claim and recover the compensation that you deserve.

The Statute of Limitations

When interested in filing a claim, it is essential that the claimant always acts with urgency. In California, the statute of limitations to bring forth a property damage claim is three years (this length of time can vary depending on the details of your claim). Three years might seem like a long time; however, the time can quickly pass and leave you without the ability to file a claim. Statutes of limitations ensure that claims are brought forth in a timely manner. If you do not file your claim within the deadline allowed by the statute of limitations, you could lose your right to sue and receive compensation. If you would like to learn more about the timeline that applies to your fire and ash claim, you must contact us as soon as possible.
