Lahaina Fire Settlement Faces Legal Dispute with Insurers
A legal dispute has arisen between Lahaina Fire Settlement, LLC (LFS), and insurance companies, jeopardizing the settlement of claims related to the 2018 Lahaina fire. LFS alleges that the insurers failed to timely pay claims, while the insurers contend that LFS breached its contractual obligations. The dispute has delayed the distribution of over $2 million in settlement funds to individual claimants. A hearing is scheduled to address the matter, with parties seeking to resolve the impasse and facilitate the distribution of funds to those affected by the fire.
