Presenting a Claim

If your house was damaged or destroyed by the actions of the polar vortex, a wildfire, accidental fire, windstorm, flood, hurricane or earthquake, as a result of state declared catastrophes and you had a fire, homeowners, flood insurance, tenant’s homeowners or condominium policy you will be dealing with an insurance adjuster to gain indemnity for your losses. You should recognize that dealing with an insurance adjuster in a catastrophe is usually fairly easy. The adjuster and the insurer are under pressure from local, state and federal governments to quickly resolve the multitude of claims resulting from the catastrophe.

Insurers dealing with a catastrophe will usually be in a very generous mood. They will be seeking good publicity by taking care of victims of the catastrophe quickly and fairly. To make the claims process go easily the insured person must understand that both the insured and the adjuster have duties when damage-caused by fire, windstorm, flood or other insured perils are discovered.
