Property Insurance Claim Lawyers

Many homes and business properties are devastated every year by natural disasters, including hurricanes, fires, tornadoes, sinkholes, and more, in addition to damages by people, such as arson and burglary. That’s why we invest in insurance policies — to protect what’s ours and to help us get back to normal after a stroke of bad luck. However, if an insurance company refuses to make a fair payout on the property insurance claim, it can be a big financial hit for homeowners, renters, and business owners, leaving them unsure where to turn next.

Types Of Property Damage

Depending on the severity of the property damage, it can have an impact on your ability to safely reside at or conduct business on the property. Even if the damage is minimal, such as a broken window, if it’s not addressed quickly, it can lead to further damage and costs. Possible property damage can include:

• Foundational Damage. Damage to the property’s flooring, walls, stairways, and more.
• Roof Damage. This can lead to dangerous conditions and potential roof collapse or can lead to water damage. 
• Water Damage. This can turn into structural damage, the growth of mold and mildew, and can completely ruin irreplaceable belongings.
• Broken Windows. Shards of glass and an opening in the home or business can lead to dangerous conditions.
• Landscape Damage. Uprooted trees, branches, lawn chairs, and other easily flung items can pose hazards to homes and businesses.
• Other Property Damage. This can include machinery, vehicles, secondary structures such as sheds, building siding, and more.
