flag Survivors blame California’s insurance chief for wildfires’ aftermath, demanding his resignation over policy cancellations and claim denials.

flag Wildfire survivors in Los Angeles are demanding California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara’s resignation, blaming his 2023 insurance agreement for enabling companies to drop thousands of policies in high-risk areas before the January 2025 fires. flag Victims say the deal created loopholes allowing insurers to exit vulnerable regions while still qualifying for future rate hikes, leading to widespread claim denials, delays, and a surge in the state’s FAIR Plan. flag They accuse Lara of prioritizing insurers over families and call on Governor Gavin Newsom to intervene. flag Lara’s office defends the reforms as a historic step toward stabilizing coverage, but survivors say the system continues to fail them.
