A: You should have already hired an attorney and/or a Public Adjustor to help you with filing the Claim. Have you made a Claim yet? Paying another policy premium is the least of your worries, and nonpayment may deny coverage. Hire some competent professionals to advise you as there are far too many fact variables to give you an answer here, and that is a catastrophic loss.
