How do you know if your home has been properly tested for toxic contamination following the Eaton Fire? Join EFRU for the speaker event, Indoor Testing, Evidence, & Your Rights on Friday November 13 at 12pm. Dr. Whelton from Purdue University with over 20 years experience with WUI fallout and Derek Chaiken of Merlin Law Group will discuss
- what a comprehensive industrial hygienist report should include,
- which contaminants should be tested for,
- how to evaluate the findings,
- why hiring your own independent industrial hygienist matters,
- how these reports can serve as critical evidence in an insurance claim, and
- what rights you have when requesting environmental testing.
We'll also discuss what to do if your insurer refuses to pay for testing or rejects your independent expert's findings in favor of its own contractor's report. Whether your home has already been cleaned, you've returned home, or you're still fighting for proper testing and remediation, this event will help you understand the evidence you need to protect your home, your health, and your rights.
