This dynamic reveals the delicate balance between your needs and the financial intricacies of the insurance industry. Navigating this landscape effectively is crucial to ensure appropriate recovery, in accordance with the coverage you have paid for.
We Can Help
Understanding the "fine print" of your insurance policy before engaging in substantive discussions with your property insurer is essential. How the claim is presented and how the coverage is utilized can make a dramatic difference in your recovery amount. Our in-depth analysis of the policy, and expert guidance, built upon over 80+ years of experience in the insurance claims industry, is invaluable to your full recovery.
Key Considerations for Your Insurance Claim Process
- Following a property damage loss, what are the duties and responsibilities of the policyholder?
- Are property owners required by their insurance company to protect the property from further damage and to mitigate the extent of the loss?
- What if the insurance company’s representatives do not arrive for days – what immediate steps should be taken by the policyholder, if any?
- Do the vendors insurance companies use work for you or the insurance company?
- Do you have a coinsurance provision in your policy, and how does that impact your recovery?
- Who do the improvements & betterments in your building belong to? How do you know which insurance company is responsible for paying for the repair or replacement of damaged improvements & betterments?
- Does the policy cover code upgrades? How best to utilize code coverage, especially if it is insufficient?
- How do I account for lost sales in the future? How is an appropriate indemnity period agreed upon?
- Can you continue paying your employees during the claim process? Are costs for a temporary location compensable as part of your claim?
- What are the differences between expediting expenses and extra expenses? What will extra expense coverage cover? Can I use extra expenses to offset shortfalls in coverage elsewhere?
- Does your debris removal coverage allow you to exceed your policy limit in certain situations?
