Smoke and ash can potentially affect the following:

• Sistemas de calefacción
• Sistemas de ventilación
• Sistemas de calefacción, ventilación y aire acondicionado

• Water filtration systems (e.g. Water pumps, water filters, etc.)
• Walls, windows, ceilings, floors, paint, etc.

• Vehicles (including paint, fabrics, and other components in the car)
• Closets and drawers and other enclosed spaces

You could have the right to file a claim if a wildfire resulted in smoke and ash damage. Of course, you could pursue a claim with your homeowner’s insurance. However, there may be other options available to you.

Based on the specific cause of the fire, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit against some of the following:

• A public utility company
• A private utility company
• A private company and their employees

As mentioned above, you will likely have the right to file your claim with your homeowner’s insurance. When filing your claim, it is important that you provide all the facts, all evidence of the property damage, any estimates of repair costs, and – most importantly – keep records of all communication between you and your insurance company.

If your insurance company unfairly denies your claim even though it should be valid, you may have grounds to file a separate claim for mala fe en los seguros. These claims are pursued when insurance companies essentially breach their duty to their clients and fail to act fairly when handling claims.

• Repair costs
• Cleaning costs
• Relocations costs (if the smoke and ash damage made your home unsafe to live in)
