A consumer group sued California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara and his department this week in a bid to stop consumers from paying part of the California FAIR Plan’s losses from the Los Angeles wildfires. In February, the FAIR Plan warned regulators that it was running out of money to pay claims stemming from the destructive and deadly wildfires in Los Angeles County.
