What You Need to Know About Property Damage Claims

Property damage can turn your life upside down, especially if it’s extensive. Dealing with property damage on your own can affect you emotionally, physically, and financially. Not only will it cause you a great deal of stress, but it can also negatively impact your savings. Sadly, many people are not able to get the property claim payment from their insurance companies. If you need help dealing with property damage, the person who has your best interest is a public insurance adjuster in West Palm Beach. 

Filing a property damage claim is not a walk in the park. First, you will need the help of someone who knows the ins and outs of property damage and who can properly document your claim.

Property Damage Claims: How Do They Work? 
  
Prepare Proof of Property Damage 
  
You cannot expect to have your claim covered by your insurance company if you cannot support it with the evidence of damage. The first thing you should when you notice that you have property damage is to contact your public insurance adjuster and let him/her know what happened.  
 
Before talking to your insurance agent, make sure you have a public adjuster inspect your damage and review your policy to determine if you should or should not file an insurance claim. Oftentimes, property owners make the mistake of filing an insurance claim that falls below their deductible. Insurance agents do not visit your property or inspect your damage. Seeking the assistance of an experienced and knowledgeable public adjuster will help you determine if your damage is covered. 
  
Check Your Policy 
  
You certainly would not want to file a claim for damage that is not covered and then have a claim on record even though a claim payment may or may not have been made. Everything should be verified before you file an insurance claim. Imagine spending so much time working on your documents only to learn that your damage is not covered in your policy. 
  
Find a Good Public Insurance Adjuster 
  
Property damage can be overwhelming, and if you are overwhelmed and under a lot of stress, it can lead to cloudy judgment and result in either an underpaid or denied insurance claim. The best thing you can do is to hire a public adjuster who can assist you throughout the claim process. 
 
Assessing and documenting the damage is critical when you present your claim to the insurance company. You are required to submit very detailed and extensive documentation of all the damage to your property.  Sometimes damage can be missed if it is hidden. There are also timelines that you must comply with in your insurance policy for submitting certain documentation. 
 
Your most significant chance of receiving a proper claim settlement is to hire a public adjuster. Public adjusters will help you every step of the way and prepare the necessary paperwork and documents to relieve you of the stress of handling the claim on your own.
