Smoke damage has become a major issue for wildfire victims of the Eaton and Palisades fires. In this episode, we go present a tip guide for policyholders on getting smoke damage claims paid from those who know best: folks who have gone through it. You’ll be hearing from fire survivors who have fought and won, public adjusters who seek to get claims paid on behalf of policyholders, attorneys who litigate in court against insurance companies, and experts in toxins and testing.

You’ll hear from:

  • Fire Survivors who fought back and successfully claimed compensation
  • Public Adjusters who advocate for homeowners
  • Attorneys who litigate against insurance companies
  • Environmental & Toxin Experts who test for smoke contamination

Whether you’re filing a new claim, appealing a denial, or preparing your home for inspection, this episode provides a practical roadmap to maximize your insurance recovery.

Justin Kloczko, Dylan Schaffer, Dawn Bolstad-Johnson, Wendy Davis, Tim McCune
