$425,000 Recovered for Eaton Fire Family After Insurer Acts in Bad Faith

Kabateck LLP has secured a $425,000 settlement for a family whose home sustained smoke damage in the Eaton Fire, in a bad faith case against their homeowners insurance carrier.

After the fire, the family turned to their insurance carrier for the coverage they had paid for — and were met with resistance rather than support. Kabateck LLP pursued the carrier for its bad faith handling of the claim and moved the matter forward without delay, filing and resolving the case in under six months.

For a family still working to recover from the fire, that speed mattered. The result delivered the compensation they were owed at a time when they needed it most.

The Kabateck LLP team included Founding Partner Brian S. Kabateck and Senior Associate Barret Alexander.

This result reflects the firm’s commitment to holding insurance carriers accountable when they fail the policyholders who depend on them.
