Property Insurance Claims Attorney

When your residential property and commercial property have been damaged by a storm, criminal activity, or other losses, you may have to submit a property insurance claim. The claim process is different depending on the type of claim (residential or commercial) and the type of damage (hurricane, wind, water, fire, mold, tornado, vandalism, theft). Different properties and different causes of damage could require different proof or have different filing deadlines. Insurance companies know this and try to create hurdles to make filing a claim much more difficult for a property owner. This is why it is important to hire a property insurance claim lawyer to navigate you around the different scenarios and traps set by insurance companies.

There are several steps that victims of residential damage and commercial damage can take to protect their property insurance claims. These steps can help maximize the amount of compensation that a victim may be entitled to while helping to guard against the unethical and improper tricks insurance companies frequently use to underpay or deny claims.

Take Photographs Before and After a Storm – If you are expecting a serious weather event like a hurricane, windstorm, tropical storm, or other adverse weather conditions, take photographs before the storm hits. This can help show the state of affairs of your property, including your windows, roof, walls, and other personal possessions. Also make sure to take photographs of your efforts to protect your property such as using wood boards and tarps. After a storm, make sure to take photographs immediately of the damage and of your mitigation efforts. Document all of your most expensive and important items.

Document Efforts to Protect Your Property – Whether due to a storm or criminal activity, make sure to document your efforts to protect your property. This means keeping receipts for boarding up windows or tarps, evidence of use of sandbags, or taking other precautions before a storm. Make sure to document your efforts to guard against criminal activity as well by having pictures, receipts, and proof of working locks, security systems, cameras, and other devices. Keep serial numbers and an inventory of all expensive and important products too in case something is stolen.
