What to Expect After a Hurricane
Two things you must know to understand the claim process after a hurricane. One, after a hurricane, all insurance companies will be overwhelmed with a high volume of claims being reported to them. Two, still, you want to report your damage immediately and make sure to document in writing each time you contact your insurance company. If your insurance company is not responding immediately after you report your claim, you want to make sure that they cannot later claim you reported your claim late. Every insurance company has either an email or a fax number you can send correspondence to to create a written record of your communications with them. You are always better off with something in writing versus oral communications. Got questions? I suggest consulting with an experienced property claims attorney.
