Getting the Facts about Insurance Claims

Here in Wisconsin, we see our fair share of winter accidents and severe weather events. All of these can leave home or business owners with many questions after such an event. Roof collapses, water damage and even wind damage can be common occurrences that have many unknowns attached. As a trusted public adjuster for WI, we continue to assist area policyholders with all of their property insurance claims. That’s why, we’ve put together some of the facts in order to help homeowners and businesses owners recover. And, if you have a claim, don’t go it alone; contact the public adjusters at Norcia Insurance Consultants and we can walk you through the entire process step by step.

First of all, in order to avoid an accident, you should take some necessary precautions. For example, it is important to keep pathways around your home or complex clear of snow, ice and debris. This is a great way to cut down on accidents. It is important to concentrate on walking paths and drives. Either one could be the cause of a big accident. Don’t risk injury or property damage for your residents or complex. It’s a good idea to keep extra people on staff in case of hazardous precipitation.

In the event of damage caused by a winter storm you should do everything you can to mitigate and prevent further damage. Take lots of photos and don’t discard anything. Then, contact your insurance company and the public adjusters at Norcia. We can take inventory of the damage and provide an estimate of the value of your assets. Next, we can figure out how many of your assets are covered by your insurance policy and how much you should receive for those assets.

Many insurance companies will cover this under a standard policy provision called Additional Living Expenses. We can help you determine if you have this coverage and get you the assistance you need. Whatever happens, it is important to remember that it’s your claim and your property.

If you have a claim, consider enlisting a public adjuster claim expert to make sure your claim is properly handled.
