nichenson Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 12 hours ago, LSP_Ray said: So sad, Paul, and now the insurance company is not cooperating? They are trying that whole act of God thing, are they? Because it wasn't. Also, can you file against PG&E? There actually already is a class action suit against PG&E started for the Camp fire. I am not sure which attorney group is doing it though. The problem is that PG&E already is in the middle of another lawsuit from another fire which hasn't been settled yet. Also, PG&E is also threatening to file bankruptcy which means even if anyone wins a suit no one will get paid. To make it even worse, last year California passed legislation that allows any utility to pass on any debt to their customers in forms of fees or increased rates which in turn means if you sue the company you are essentially putting money from one of your pockets into another and grabbing a few bucks from your neighbor, too. It isn't looking too good going down that route. I have heard a few stories about Nationwide from people who were hit by the hurricane in Florida a couple of months back. It took some threatening and heated phone calls, but they eventually got what they needed. I hope Paul doesn't have to go to that extreme though. I have also heard talks that legislation is being introduced for the state to buy the lands/area and convert it into a buffer zone. Either way, it will be a long recovery for everyone.

ScottsGT Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Maybe if those effected started posting their insurance companies responses on social media, they might be influenced into making things right. Someone should let that retired quaterback and country singer know what kind of scam they are promoting. Dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 A local body shop owner frustrated by his dealings with the three major insurance companies always finishes his commercials with "Remember... they are not your good neighbor, you are not in good hands and they are not on your side" !

LSP_Kevin Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 We're inching closer to the amazing figure of US$30,000! Given Paul's (not unexpected) difficulties with his insurance company, it looks like he and his family will be leaning on this money for some time yet, and may need our continued support for as long as we can sustain it. If you haven't donated yet, please consider doing so - no amount is too small! https://www.gofundme.com/paul-fisher-fire-relief Kev Alain Gadbois, Bill_S, Kagemusha and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks to PhilB, that gap has been bridged, and we're now sitting at exactly US$30,000! Incredible stuff, and even though the donations have slowed to about a weekly drip, it all helps.

Out2gtcha Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I had actually missed this and was just going to post on it, that we hit 30,000! I missed that mark, but am SO glad we got it! Im really amazed by the generosity shown by the whole of the modeling community. Bill_S and thierry laurent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Having reached an amazing US$30k in donations, and with Paul's insurance company now starting to pay out, we have decided that the GoFundMe campaign has run its course, and will be deactivated soon. I've disabled donations in the interim, and would like to thank each and every one of you who so generously supported Paul and his family during this difficult time. It's made a world of difference! Hopefully we'll see Paul back to churning out modelling goodies sooner rather than later!
