> Nonprofits Insurance Alliance of California (NIAC) discovered that foster family agencies (FFAs) in California are unfairly set up as scapegoats due to four specific problems in California’s judicial system. These four problems prevent FFAs from being insurable for many required coverages by any insurer. > California counties were requiring (through contract) the FFAs to agree to defend and indemnify the counties, even for the wrongful acts and negligence of the counties. > Why did attorneys’ groups oppose AB 2496? Follow the money. Attorneys in these cases can take 30-40% of the final jury award — which could mean tens of millions of dollars for them.
