What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Cherokee Acquisition is purchasing fire claims related to the Palisades and Eaton wildfires. These claims involve subrogation rights, which allow insurers to pursue third parties for losses they have paid out. Cherokee Acquisition is acquiring Eaton fire claims for 55 to 60 cents on the dollar, while Palisades claims are trading at a lower price, between 3 and 5 cents on the dollar, due to perceived higher risk.
