Storm damage can be difficult to prove after the fact. Even
the dents caused by hail can be misinterpreted as having been caused by wear
and tear over a longer period of time, in which case your insurance company
won’t give you anything.
To negotiate your storm damage insurance claim, you’ll have
to take extra precautions, and make sure you fully document the damage you have
to fix, while bringing in the best Orlando roofing companies in your area to help you out:
·
Take lots of pictures right after the damage was
done or even while it’s happening – for example, in the event of a flood, while
your home is still flooded and after you got all your main items out safely.
·
Talk to your lawyer and to an experienced public
adjuster before you talk to your insurance company. They can guide you on how
to tackle the issue and what to look out for, based on the drafting of your
insurance policy and its less straightforward terms.
·
Avoid settling for less than what you believe you
deserve, and avoid making the first offer. In most cases, careful planning and
deliberation will be required, and you will have to listen closely to your
public adjuster, if you want everything to go smoothly.
