I’ve looked into moving somewhere affordable, but it seems to be an area prone to wildfires and was evacuated for such recently.

What happens during an evacuation? Where do you go? Who covers the cost it’s a hotel or something, or do people find their own accommodations? What kind of damage can you expect from smoke when you return home if it is still standing? Anything else unexpected that comes from this?

Thanks

    Real curious… If you were insured by the same company you work for, would you be able to handle your own claims, or is there some sort of conflict of interest?

      Definitely not. Any claim involving an employee is immediately put on controlled access so only the assigned adjuster and their manager can access it and no one else. It would be all kinds of trouble if you were even tempted to access a claim involving yourself, a friend or family member. This is the same way claims that involve litigation are handled due to issues with confidentiality, records retention, discovery etc.
