Insurance policies are a necessary evil. No one wants to think about the possibility of needing to file a claim, but it’s always best to be prepared and know what you’re getting into. If you have homeowner’s insurance, here are tips for filing a claim when disaster strikes:

1. Get organized.

Be sure that all your papers are in order before submitting your request so that everything goes smoothly and quickly with little delay.

2. Stay calm.

During this stressful time try exercising patience and understanding with the claims adjuster who is working on your case. It will make things go more smoothly if they don’t feel like they need to hurry up or rush through anything because they want to get off the phone as soon as possible.

3. Hire a public adjuster.

A public adjuster is a professional hired by a person or a corporation to help settle complex insurance claims. Insurance claims are a headache, especially residential and commercial property claims. We help you negotiate with the insurance adjuster to ensure you receive the highest and best estimate from your insurance provider.

In some circumstances, it can be difficult to determine the extent of damage to your home. Whether you’re not sure what’s covered by your insurance policy or don’t know how to assess the damages yourself, we hope these tips may help make filing for an insurance claim less stressful.
