With spring and
summer comes intense weather that can bring harsh, damaging storms to
the area. When a storm hits and causes damage to your home, it is
important to take the proper first steps to get your home and your
wallet on the road to recovery. At Norcia, we offer insurance
claims help for Minnesota and are here to offer help with all of
your insurance needs. And, we’d like to start by giving you a few
tips so you know where to begin.
First, not sure if
you have a claim? File one anyway. Experts like those at Norcia can
get you the insurance claims you need to get you started. Even if a
claim is fairly minor, like a broken window, for instance and won't
exceed your annual deductible, you should still report that damage.
Why? If there's another storm this year, then together your claims
from both storms might top your deductible and then you could be
reimbursed.
Next, contact your
insurance company. Contacting your insurance company is essential to
starting the claims process. But, with insurance claims help help
from Norcia, we can take care of this for you. A public insurance
adjuster like us can come to your home, talk to y our insurance
company for you, explain to you what is unfolding, clarify all
aspects of the paperwork and contracts that you might otherwise have
a hard time understanding.
Always be sure to
document every single possible issue that can be deemed a “loss”.
Take photographs and notes. Go room by room inside of the house, side
by side on your home’s exterior. Take close-ups, zoom in. In cases
of loss with regard to natural disaster in pursuit of recompense from
your insurance company, it is far better to have way too much in the
way of documentation than little at all.
If your home has
taken on severe damage, it is a good idea to board up your windows
and doors. This will aid in the effort to prevent it from taking on
even more damage, in addition to protecting the assets within. If you
bring in a contractor to do such work, keep the receipt. You never
know and keeping an accurate log of all transactions related to the
disaster your home has endured will go a long way in aiding the
insurance claims management process.
One thing to always
remember is that for all of these steps, it helps to have insurance
claims help you can trust. We will be in your corner, not the
insurance company’s. Our job is to look out for you to make sure
that you get fair and reasonable compensation from your insurance
company when you file a claim.
