South Florida Fire Property Damage Attorneys
You may be surprised at the resistance that you may face from your own insurance company when you make a claim for fire damage. This is, of course, the same insurance company to which you have faithfully paid premiums for insurance coverage in case of a disaster like the one that you are facing today. Your insurance company will assign an insurance adjuster to your case, whose job is to interview you, inspect the damage to your property and produce an estimate of your damages. Keep in mind, however, that the insurance adjuster works not for you but for your insurance company and therefore may not have your best interests at heart. The insurance adjuster may find reasons to deny your claim or to declare your home or business to be less than a total loss. This can create a difficult situation for you and your family as you struggle to recover from the financial devastation of the fire that has claimed your home or business.
The Fire Damage Claim Lawyers At Saavedra-Goodwin Can Help
As the insurance adjuster prepares an estimate of the costs of repairs and/or replacement of your losses from the fire, you may see significant differences between the insurer’s value of your claim and the contractors’ estimates to restore your home or business. Additionally, you are likely subject to specific provisions in your insurance policy that pertain to fire damage, which may come into play if you disagree with the insurance adjuster’s assessment of your claim. The typical insurance policy is quite complex, and even the most sophisticated reader may struggle with its interpretation.
