When Andrea Morris, a dedicated nurse at City of Hope, suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on the job, her life was irrevocably changed. Despite being surrounded by five medical professionals—including two doctors—no one administered CPR. One doctor even testified under oath that he was not qualified to perform CPR. The lack of immediate medical intervention led to severe brain damage, leaving Andrea quadriplegic and dependent on round-the-clock care.

Adding to the tragedy, City of Hope denied Andrea’s workers’ compensation claim, refusing to acknowledge the incident as a work-related injury. This denial prompted Bentley & More LLP’s co-founder, Keith More, to take up her case. With over three decades of experience and a reputation for handling complex workers’ compensation and personal injury cases, Keith has been a steadfast advocate for Andrea, fighting tirelessly to secure the justice and support she deserves.

Bentley & More LLP has filed lawsuits on behalf of Los Angeles County homeowners who lost their homes in the devastating January 2025 Eaton and Palisades wildfires. The lawsuits accuse insurance giants AAA and USAA of systematic underinsurance and deceptive practices, leaving fire victims without adequate funds to rebuild.

According to the claims, both insurers relied on flawed cost-estimating software, 360Value, which dramatically undervalued rebuilding costs—offering coverage as low as $264 per square foot when actual costs ranged from $800 to $1,400. Many homeowners allege they were misled into believing their policies provided sufficient protection and were even prevented from purchasing higher coverage limits.

These allegations are backed by previous investigations from the California Department of Insurance, which found widespread underinsurance issues across the industry.

To learn more about the case and its implications for California homeowners, read the full coverage from:

• Daily Journal – “Homeowners accuse AAA and USAA of wildfire underinsurance”
• San Francisco Chronicle – “Thousands of L.A. homeowners lacked coverage after fires”
• Los Angeles Times – “Fire victims sue AAA and USAA, alleging insurance fraud”
• PR Newswire – “Homeowners Sue WSAA and AAA Alleging Systemic Underinsurance in the Wake of LA County Wildfires”

This case highlights the urgent need for stronger consumer protections and insurance reform in wildfire-prone regions.
