INSURANCE CLAIMS

Handling storm damage insurance claims can be quite intricate and demanding

Handling storm damage insurance claims can be quite intricate and demanding. Here are some steps and tips to assist you in the process:

  1. Immediate Contact: Reach out to your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage. Determine if the damage is covered, the timeline for filing the claim, your deductible, and any immediate steps they recommend​ (PolicyGenius)​.

  2. Temporary Repairs: To prevent further damage, make temporary repairs where feasible. Keep all receipts for potential reimbursement and don’t overspend on these temporary fixes as they may affect your total claim value​ (PolicyGenius)​.

  3. Documentation: Document all damage with photographs and keep receipts for expenditures related to temporary repairs and additional living expenses if you need to relocate temporarily​ (PolicyGenius)​​ (Insurance Claim Consultants)​.

  4. Professional Inspection: Consider having a professional inspection, especially for areas like your roof, to ascertain the extent of damage, which can sometimes be subtle but significant, like granule loss on asphalt shingles​ (Hedrick Construction)​.

  5. Adjuster’s Visit: An insurance adjuster will inspect your property. You have the right to have a professional present during this process, and if there is a disagreement on the damage assessment, you can request a re-inspection​ (Hedrick Construction)​.

  6. Filing the Claim: Complete the claim forms with accurate information on the damage and send them promptly to avoid delays​ (PolicyGenius)​.

  7. Payment of Claims: Insurance companies typically issue a check for the actual cash value first, followed by a recoverable depreciation amount after repairs are complete. All you’re responsible for is the deductible​ (Hedrick Construction)​.

  8. Policy Review: While repairs are ongoing, review your insurance policy to ensure you’re adequately covered for the specific type of storm damage you’ve experienced​ (PolicyGenius)​.

  9. Coverage Specifics: Most homeowners insurance covers a variety of storm-related damages including water and ice damage, wind, hail, and fallen trees, but usually excludes flooding which often requires separate flood insurance​ (Kin Insurance)​.

  10. Expert Assistance: For complex cases, hiring a public adjuster can be beneficial. They can expedite the claim process and ensure all damage is accounted for, which is particularly useful when dealing with inexperienced adjusters from the insurance company after a major storm​ (Insurance Claim Consultants)​.

Remember, it’s crucial to understand your insurance policy details, as coverage can vary greatly. If your policy includes storm-related damages, it usually covers the cost of repairs or replacements, minus your deductible. It’s also worth noting that filing a claim may have an impact on your policy premium or discounts, especially if you’ve been receiving a ‘claims-free’ discount.
