Deadline Nears on Quake Claims
From Times Staff Reports
Homeowners with damage from the 1994 Northridge earthquake have less than a week to file claims.
A law enacted last January extended the deadline to Dec. 31 for those who settled claims without legal representation or who discovered damage after settling, said Nanci Kramer, deputy press secretary for the Insurance Department. With the extension, 76 homeowners have sought to reopen claims.
Kramer said those wanting to file a claim should contact their insurance company immediately and seek legal counsel but should not call the Insurance Department.
