04 How do I dispute a FAIR Plan denial?

If your FAIR Plan claim has been denied or undervalued, you have the right to request the denial in writing, demand a complete copy of your claim file, and request reinspection. Following the 2025 Aliff v. California FAIR Plan ruling, blanket smoke-damage denials are no longer permitted, opening many previously-denied claims for reopening. A licensed public adjuster can navigate this process on your behalf.
