Step 1: Immediate Action and Documentation The first step after a hurricane is to ensure the safety of your family or employees. Once safe, it’s crucial to document the damage as thoroughly as possible. Take clear photographs and videos of all affected areas, including both the interior and exterior of the property. This documentation will serve as vital evidence when filing your claim.
Step 2: Review Your Insurance Policy Understanding your insurance policy is key to ensuring you receive the full benefits you’re entitled to. Policies can be complicated, with specific language that may limit or exclude certain types of coverage. Our public adjusters are experts at interpreting these policies and can help you identify the areas that are covered, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Step 3: Filing Your Claim Once you have documented the damage and reviewed your policy, it’s time to file your claim. This is where many policyholders encounter challenges.
