Dealing With Insurance After Storm Damage

3/17/2021 (Permalink)

There is bound to be springtime storms in the near future, as the weather warms up in Fairfield County.  Storms can be mild, but storms can also bring severe damage, especially during the spring months.  Fallen trees, broken glass, and flooding are all things that can affect your home or business as a result of storm damage. If any one of these happen to you, getting back to normal will be your main concern.  Filing an insurance claim is probably part of that process.  Learn the best way to navigate that process below.

Inspect damage 

Make your way around your property to see what damage has occurred.  Look at your roof, walls, basement, and surrounding areas.  Look for structural damage and water damage, as those are the most common ways storm damage affects people.  This will also help you when you speak to your insurance company, as you will know the answers they are looking for.

Document damage

When you are looking around your property for damage, make sure to take photos of everything that you find.  This will serve as proof of damage, as well as help your claim be processed quickly and easily.

Call Your Insurance Company

Make contact to inform them of the damage.  They will begin the claims process with you.  They may send out an adjuster to inspect the damage and issue a payment.  Having the photos will help immensely in this process.
