INSURANCE CLAIM HELP - Before - And - After Your Have a Claim to File!

Before there is a problem the prudent choice is to - Read your insurance policy. Find out what it covers and what it doesn't. Be sure you are covered for the worst possible conditions. This should include Sewer Backup Coverage, Enough coverage for Flood and Homeowners, as well as enough Content Coverage and deductibles that won't break you.

When you have damage to your home and need to file a claim.  

 
Absolutely resist the impulse to clean up immediately after the damage. The most important need you must address is taking pictures of the damage.
— Marc Lancaric, Public Adjuster & President of Global Patriot Adjusters
 

If you think 10 pictures did the trick to show the damage, multiply this by 10 and take 100. You will never have "too many" pictures of the damage. We could tell you endless stories about not having enough pictures to prove the cause of the loss or the amount of the damage!

Next, you should, with camera in hand, Inventory the damage to the build and the contents. As a rule, your insurance company will not pay for anything over $100.00 if you do not have a picture.

Many people will produce a list of like items saying "5 pairs of men's dress shoes," or "5 sweaters." The story is much more detailed. Those shoes or sweaters were bought at different times and had a different values. If you let them be bundled together, you are giving away thousands in your coverage.

In one example, a property owner had turned in $25,000 in Insurance Content Coverage Items. When Global Patriot Adjusters took on this claim, we were able to break out all the items bundled together, and properly value each. The claim resulted in $56,000 in content coverage submitted and awarded by the carrier. Details always matter, and we know how to bring these details to the attention of the Insurance Carrier.

Absolutely do not throw anything away before you can show these items to your insurance carrier adjuster and to your Public Adjuster.

As your Public Adjuster, we can simplify this process. As your Public Adjuster - we will bring you an award that is much higher, and much less hassle.

This process can be cumbersome for the average homeowner even with the best intention. Marc Lancaric - Public Adjuster TERMINATES may problems felt by those needing to file a claim and often says,"The Insurance Carrier Hires a Professional Adjuster to work your claim, You should have the same - As your Public Adjuster Global Patriot Adjuster will TERMINATE the troubles these claims cause owners who experience an insurance loss."

Smoke Damage Insurance Claims

Smoke Damage Insurance Claims Why You May Need a Public Adjuster

Marc Lancaric, public adjuster, was at a New Hampshire apartment building where a fire had occurred recently. The owner explained that the insurance carrier had said, “We won't be covering smoke damage beyond the neighboring apartment, this just wasn't much more than a kitchen fire.”

Marc Lancaric, now the owner's Public Adjuster responded “This is a smoke damage insurance claim as much as a fire claim, as per the policy, the insurance carrier is responsible to properly investigate and pay for actual damages, including smoke contamination throughout a property.”

Insurance carriers will commonly quickly dismiss the smoke damage caused by even a small fire in homes and businesses. Smoke is one of the strongest and penetrating in insurance losses. Smoke smell can overtake neighboring rooms, attics, basements, and wall cavities which span a building.

At Global Patriot Adjusters, we properly scope the loss. Frankly, it is easy just to look at the obvious, but we will never be accused of such. We dig deep, to find every bit of damage that should be covered by your insurance carrier. We do bring in a far more dollars on claims that are handled with us!
