Insurers Asked To Waive Inventory Requirement For North Bay Fire Victims

State Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones on Thursday urged insurance companies to provide North Bay fire victims up to 100 percent of their personal property coverage limits without requiring them to fill out a detailed inventory. Jones’ notice came as an increasing number of local fire victims have appealed to their carriers to ease the inventory requirement, arguing they have been overwhelmed with the time-consuming task — which can take more than 40 hours to complete — while also juggling to rebuild their lives after the costliest wildfire in American history.
