McGuireWoods partner Kirk Pasich<\/a> recently was quoted in a Law360<\/em> article<\/a> that noted Los Angeles’ recent rainfall could cause more damage from flooding and mudslides in burn areas, but coverage for those normally excluded perils is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pasich, co-leader of McGuireWoods\u2019 insurance recovery team<\/a>, said insurance companies \u201cshould not deny these claims before undertaking a diligent investigation regarding the cause of loss, and carefully considering the facts.\u201d But if a home is damaged by a mudslide after a fire, it may not be clear that the owner\u2019s fire insurance policy will cover it, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t reach an agreement, you can end up in a battle of expert contractors and . . . land people, to try to figure it out,\u201d Pasich said in the Jan. 30, 2025, article titled \u201cLA Fires Raise Flood and Mud Risk, But Coverage Possible.\u201d He added, \u201c[I]t\u2019s often a question for a jury, which means no immediate answer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another Jan. 30 article<\/a> titled \u201cTrump Tariffs Could Raise LA Fire Insurance Recovery Costs,\u201d Pasich told Law360<\/em> that if tariffs raise the costs of imported materials such as lumber and cement and make rebuilding more expensive, insurers will absorb those costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe protection you get is based on the real world you\u2019re in at the time,\u201d Pasich said. \u201cIt\u2019s not \u2014 oh, I was getting this piece of equipment for $10,000, and now it\u2019s $15,000 because of tariffs, so I only get $10,000. You would get the $15,000.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
