How Do I Prepare for a Claim?
Unfortunately, assessing the aftermath of a natural disaster can be complex, time-consuming, and at times dangerous. Luckily, there are actions you can take to expedite the process and make your filing as smooth and seamless as possible:
- Pre-Disaster Documentation: If you want to file a proper claim, you need to take photos and provide evidence that your home was in good condition before the storm hit and that you can attribute damages directly to the storm.
- Post-Disaster Documentation: Like your pre-disaster documentation, taking post-disaster documentation is crucial. Doing so will provide a clear “before-and-after” picture of your home, adding further proof that the natural disaster is to blame for recent damages. However, assess your home only when it is safe to do so.
- Keep Your Documents Safe: Storing your documents in a safe, secure place will preserve them so you can use them in the future. Safe storage is critical if you’ve documented damages on paper or through technology that is prone to damage itself.
- Request a Thorough Inspection: Hiring a professional to investigate and assess your damage will lend credibility to your claim and contribute to a sold case. An inspector may also locate damages that you were unaware of or could not detect at the time or your documentation.
