Tips for Your Fire Insurance Claim Settlement
Insurance companies dealing with smoke insurance claims in California frequently use methods to delay settlements or deny a smoke insurance claim altogether. Follow these steps to ensure that your claim progresses in the most effective way possible:
- Document Everything Immediately. Take clear photos and videos of all visible smoke damage, including walls, ceilings, furniture, and personal belongings.
- Request a Copy of Your Policy. Review your coverage details, including exclusions, limits, and endorsements related to smoke damage.
- Avoid Cleaning or Tossing Damaged Items. Leave all affected areas untouched so that nothing is discarded before proper documentation and assessment.
- Notify Your Insurance Company Promptly. File the claim as soon as possible and keep a written log of every interaction with your insurer.
- Request a Copy of the Insurance Adjuster’s Report. This allows you to verify if all damage has been accurately assessed and valued.
- Get Independent Estimates. Bring in reputable restoration vendors to provide their own scope of work and cost assessments.
- Hire a Public Adjuster Early. A licensed public adjuster will handle communication, negotiate on your behalf, and help maximize your payout.
- Keep All Receipts and Invoices. Track every expense related to cleaning, lodging, repairs, and temporary living to include in your claim.
