Vandalism is frustrating for homeowners and business owners alike and can happen to anyone at any time. This disruptive, criminal act can cost innocent people thousands of dollars to repair the damage. When a commercial property is vandalized, it can even result in a disruption of services and, thus, business interruption claims. The only thing more frustrating than vandalism itself is when an insurance company unexpectedly denies a vandalism claim. Sometimes the denials are inaccurate, whereas other times the denials are just plain unlawful.

As soon as you discover vandalism to your property you should call the police. Not only is this to report the crime, but you do not know if the individuals are still lurking nearby or inside of your home or business seeking to commit further crimes against you. Police will respond, check the property and surrounding area, and begin to draft a report. This report may evolve as the investigation continues. Make sure that the police take photographs of the scene and the damage. You should also take photographs to ensure you have backups and access to the damage.
Next, make sure to alert your insurance company. While you can do this without a lawyer, it is better to have a lawyer help you through this process because even minor omissions or mistakes in your application could result in full or partial denial. Insurance companies have trained their representatives to look for mistakes to maximize the amount they can deduct from your claim. Do not let this happen to you.
