Your specific duties may depend on your individual policy, but most policies will require that you give prompt notice of loss, allow the insurance company to inspect the property, keep defective parts or components, prepare an inventory of damaged items, cooperate in any investigation (including an Examination Under Oath), and submit a signed Sworn Proof of Loss statement, among other duties.
To maximize your recovery, we recommend that you contact your insurance company immediately upon seeing damage. Document any damage you see with photographs or videos, and capture any broken pipes, fallen tiles, water damage, affected personal property, or anything else you can document to evidence the loss. If you have documentation of what your property looked like before the loss, save that too, as it will help show the insurance company the extent of your damage. Prepare an inventory of damaged personal property to comprehensively value your financial loss. Do not throw away any damaged items, unless necessary for your safety. Obtain your own repair estimates so you know exactly how much it will cost to address your loss, and whether the insurance company is paying you a fair dollar figure.
If you see that you have not been paid fairly for your loss, or your claim was unfairly denied, let The Property People step in. With absolutely zero upfront cost or out of pocket expense to you, we will pursue your claim thoughtfully and aggressively to obtain the maximum recovery.
As lawyers, The Property People work with public adjusters, loss consultants, expert general contractors, and expert engineers to understand the cause and origin of your damage and the cost to conduct necessary repairs. We will also examine the insurance company’s process of handling your claim to determine if the insurance company committed bad faith, which will affect your financial recovery. After investigating your damage to determine the fair and objective value of your loss, we will negotiate the highest possible settlement with your insurance company. If the insurance company does not agree to pay you what you are justly owed, we will file a formal lawsuit and seek court intervention to obtain your maximum legal recovery.
Our passion for people, conversation, and the law helps us negotiate courteously with opposing counsel and obtain quick and favorable resolutions. At the same time, if your rights as a policyholder are disrespected, we have the skills and resources to litigate aggressively from the inception of a lawsuit to trial.
Don’t be overwhelmed by the costs associated with fighting for your claim. Filing a lawsuit against your insurance company in Florida can cost over $500.00. Additionally, there may be other costs associated with hiring contractors, engineers, or other experts necessary to move your claim forward. We pay all the costs associated with litigating your claim and only recover those costs if, and after, we recover for you first.
The Property People can evaluate the language of your policy and the damage you suffered to assess what you are rightfully owed and to pursue your maximum recovery. We are happy to analyze and address the process of disputing and litigating your denied property insurance claim in a free consultation, at your convenience.
By meticulously comparing the insurance company’s estimate with other estimates reflecting the scope and price of your loss, along with other documentation of your damage, we will prepare a thorough and comprehensive demand that explains how much more money the insurance company must pay to address your loss. By supporting our demand with legal analysis, communicating consistently with the insurance company, and negotiating for your recovery from an educated standpoint, we maximize the value of your settlement. We are happy to analyze and address the process of disputing and litigating your underpaid property insurance claim in a free consultation, at your convenience.
