Property Damage

Residential Property Damage

Damage to your home can be caused by water, mold, fire, smoke, theft, vandalism, storms and various other weather events.

Damage to a home can be a devastating and life-changing event for a homeowner, but for an insurance company, its business as usual. When you need insurance coverage most, a property damage claim could be denied or only partially paid. This is why homeowners must approach the adjustment and settlement of their homeowner’s insurance claim with caution.

Homeowners are tasked with investigating and documenting losses pursuant to the terms of their policies, as well as complying with specific requirements when filing an insurance claim. Understanding the complexity insurance coverages available, limitations on those coverages, deductibles, conditions precedent and specific requirements necessary to make an insurance claim can be overwhelming.  In order to improve the outcome of a property damage claim, it’s absolutely crucial to have the right lawyer and team of experts on your side.
