Types of Property Insurance Claims We Handle
Our firm can help anyone with a property insurance claim. We have helped private homeowners, commercial businesses, and motor vehicle owners.
Here are some of the damage claims we can handle:
- Water damage—Your home or other property can suffer water damage during a storm which blows the roof off or breaks the windows.
- Mold damage—Water intrusion often leads to the spread of black mold, which is expensive to remediate.
- Smoke and fire damage—Fires break out for various reasons, including pets which bite into a wire. Fire damage often requires extensive repairs.
- Wind damage—Hurricanes and tropical storms can tear off roof tiles or send trees toppling onto your home. Each year, the number and intensity of these storms increase. You have insurance to get your property fixed.
- Vandalism—We can submit a claim on comprehensive car insurance when someone steals your vehicle.
- Sinkholes—A sinkhole can dramatically open almost anywhere, swallowing an entire home or damaging the foundation. We are ready to see if a sinkhole claim is covered by your policy.
Many people envision the claims process being relatively straightforward. You fill out some forms and then a check arrives in the mail. Unfortunately, the process is usually filled with more hassles. An insurer might deny coverage or drag their feet and fail to perform a timely investigation.
Property Claim Timeline
Each claim is unique, but the process typically proceeds as follows:
- Loss. You should document the damage with photographs or video.
- Reporting a claim. You should call before the deadline listed in your policy to open a claim.
- Information request. Your insurer will likely request certain information from you.
- Property inspection. If property was damaged, then an independent adjuster should arrive.
- Coverage decision. Your insurer should list the reasons for accepting or denying your claim.
- Help with a denial. If a carrier denies your claim, then you should immediately reach out to an experienced lawyer.
