Unfortunately, it's time to start planning for
Crunch Time! Not everyone can or should file a lawsuit, but you should start
your research now.
ONE-YEAR INSURANCE POLICY DEADLINE TO FILE A
LAWSUIT
Almost all California fire and homeowner
insurance policies contain a provision that limits the time to file a lawsuit to
one year following the date of the loss.
Do not wait until the last few weeks or
days before the one year deadline! Attorneys will be busy with
other survivors and less available to handle your evaluation. It takes time to
adequately review your situation and prepare paperwork. Even if you find out you
do not need to sue or meet the one-year deadline, give yourself enough time to
fully protect your rights if you have legal issues regarding your insurance
settlement. Give yourself at least that peace of
mind.
