Throughout the year, there are a number of fires all over California. California is, regrettably, known for its fierce fire season, which has blurred any seasonal boundaries. In recent years, California fires have started earlier in the year and burned more aggressively. Because of that, Californian residents must always be on alert. Many cities throughout the entire state have been affected by fires and will continue being affected by fires—San Diego is not the exception.
Many San Diego residents lost property because of the recent fires in the area. Did you suffer the loss of personal possessions because of a fire? Was your home, business, or land affected by property damage because of fire? If your property was burned or damaged in any way after a fire, you might be interested in filing a fire damage claim with the insurance company that covers your property.
Did you file a fire property damage claim with your insurance company only to learn that your claim was denied? If the insurance company denies your claim, you might have to pay all the property damage sustained out-of-pocket. What could you do after your insurance company denied your claim? Many people just give up and start thinking of ways they could address their damaged property without the financial support of their insurance companies. However, you could still have the right to receive full compensation by the insurance company even if your claim was already denied.
You have the right to sue your insurance company if they fail to pay you the compensation that is rightfully yours.

The Type of Damage to Your Property after a Fire
Many people associate fires with bodily burns and other physical injuries; however, fires could result in unimaginable property damage. A fire could cause extensive damage to your property. In general, the types of property damage could be categorized into the following sections:
- Structural damage—often occurs when the fire burns through your property and engulfs any structures. The fire could destroy walls, the property’s foundation, and even cause a roof collapse. Structural damage will require extensive repair before the property could be used again.
- Smoke damage—property could be damaged by smoke whether the fire burned in the property or near the property. Smoke damage usually consists of a strong smoke-odor and obvious stained walls or furniture. Smoke damage is common on ceilings, in and around windows, and in small/confined spaces (closets, drawers, and attics, for example). Smoke often damages carpets, curtains, sofas, clothes, mattress, family photos, and many other pieces of personal property. Smoke damage will also require extensive repair after a fire.
- Water damage—fires often result in water damage to properties. When firefighters arrive at the scene, they use water to put out the fire. An excess amount of water cannot only damage furniture, but it could also damage floors, walls, and cause a variety of problems such as mold and structural damage.
If your home or your business were damaged, you might be dealing with home fire damage and business fire damage that could have resulted in the loss of cash, jewelry, furniture, machinery, technology, customer records, and many other important things. In addition to homes and businesses, many people have lost their ranches and farms because of fires. If your farm or ranch was burned, there was likely both damage to your farm and damage to your livestock. If there was damage to your plumbing, you might suddenly be unable to provide your livestock with the water that they need to survive. Whether you farm vegetables or raise livestock, burn damage to your farm or ranch will likely result in additional difficulties. Many farm owners live on and from the land; therefore, extensive fire damage could leave them with nothing to their name.
If your home, business, ranch, or farm were damaged because of a fire, you have the right to be compensated by your insurance company. If your insurance company does not want to pay, you must seek legal assistance as soon as possible from a California lawyer that’s experience in fire damage cases. If you are in need of an attorney that can sue an insurance company for fire damage to your belongings, you must contact our law firm as soon as possible.
Your Insurance Company and Your Property Damage Claim
Why would your insurance company deny your insurance claim if you always paid your insurance premiums on time? When you contact your insurance company after your property was damaged by a fire, they might offer to cover your hotel costs. Based on their willingness to cover your hotel costs, you might have assumed that your insurance company would give you the compensation that is rightfully yours. However, their investigation might result in a denied claim. Insurance companies are dedicated to paying little to nothing to claimants; therefore, it is not surprising when an insurance company undervalues or denies a claim. Insurance companies are likely to deny fire damage claims if the claim involves electrical fires, arson, or wildfires. Even some claims consisting of accidental fires are often denied because investigations identify alleged suspicious circumstances.
If your claim was wrongfully denied even if the claim was valid and reasonable, you could file a lawsuit against your insurance company. You must contact a San Diego property damage lawyer to discuss the possibility of filing a claim against your insurance company for the failure to pay. If you need to speak with an attorney that can sue the insurance company for not paying, you must contact the fire property damage attorneys in San Diego, CA at Normandie Law Firm.
