Marshall fire victims may be losing insurance coverage as one year mark approaches. KlopezNews reports.
As we approach the one-year mark at the end of December, it also means some victims may be losing critical insurance coverage they've been receiving for the past 12 months while they work to rebuild.
Jill Sellars lost her home in the Sagamore neighborhood in Superior. She said the rebuilding process has been slower than expected.Since losing everything, Sellars has been getting assistance through her Additional Living Expenses, or ALE insurance. "They've been paying for all of our additional living expenses, our rent, even extra driving time to work. So that's been a godsend for us. We are fortunate to have had a 24-month policy. So we're so grateful for that."Colorado law requires insurance companies to offer up to 24 months of ALE insurance but there's an option to purchase a 12-month policy. Fire victims who may have selected that choice may soon be running out of coverage.
"This is a heartbreaking situation," said Carole Walker, Executive Director for Rocky Mountain Insurance Association."If someone just purchased 12 months, they’ve lost their home, that will be expiring as we reach the anniversary." She suggests contacting your insurance company who will work with people on a case-by-case basis to see what they can do, especially if there were delays in the rebuilding process."Even if you didn’t qualify for the rebuilding of your home, you may qualify for additional living expenses through FEMA now," added Walker."We also hope there are charitable dollars available.
