Deductibles on San Fernando policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. Los Angeles County is no different. Denied San Fernando claims are frequently reopened successfully when done right documentation is supplied the second time. Photographs taken before any tarping on a San Fernando property are the nearly all valuable evidence in the whole claim.
3The San Fernando Maintenance Year
