Fire & Lightning Claims

The days following smoke and fire damage can be stressful and confusing. After everyone is safe, one of the first calls you will need to make will be to your insurance company, but you need to know that their adjuster does not work for you. Like all businesses, insurance companies are trying to turn a profit, and getting you the maximum claim that you deserve is not part of their business model.

Did you experience a fire?

A fire can be devastating to a family or business. Even minor smoke and a small fire can do serious damage. The cleanup can be lengthy and costly.

Here in Pennsylvania, fires can occur due to lightning strikes, electrical problems, appliance malfunctions, cooking accidents, space heaters, fireplaces and more. No matter the cause of your fire, you should consider contacting a public adjuster experienced with fire claims to ensure the best possible outcome with your homeowner insurance claim.

A Public Adjuster Protects Your Best Interests

Fire insurance claims are complex because often the full scope of the damage isn’t evident. Smoke damage may not be visible to the untrained eye and quantifying the amount of destruction can be subjective.

The smell of smoke can get into carpets, drapes, upholstered furniture, clothes and even the home’s insulation. Soot can clog air conditioners and cause noticeable damage to belongings. The adjuster sent by your insurance company is paid by the insurance company and therefore represents its interests, not the policy holder’s. You need a public adjuster to protect your best interests.
