After making a fire claim with your insurance company, you may have a settlement amount in mind that you expect to receive. Sometimes, though, the insurer will disagree with you, trying to reduce your claim amount for a variety of reasons.
Do not feel like you have to accept the less than desirable settlement that your insurance company puts on the table. Instead, consider hiring a fire claims lawyer in West Palm Beach that understands Florida law and how to negotiate on your behalf with an insurer.
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine are ready to represent you. We take pride in going the extra mile for our clients, working side by side to achieve a fair settlement. Because you have a limited amount of time to act in a property claim case, call our West Palm Beach property claim lawyers today for a free consultation.
Receiving a Fair Settlement
Florida Statute § 627.702 entitles you to receive a full payout for the insured amount when your damaged property is deemed a total loss. Sometimes, your insurance company may claim the property is only partially damaged, allowing it to issue a smaller payout than if there was a total loss.
When you employ a fire claims lawyer in West Palm Beach, we will work with repair professionals and contractors in your area who will help us determine the true extent of your losses and whether you have experienced a total or partial loss at your property after the fire.
Repairing Fire Damage
If a fire is determined to be a partial loss, the insurance company should make payments for fire restoration work at your property for items such as:
- Structural damage
- Damage to utilities
- Water damage
- Smoke and soot damage
If it seems like your insurer is dragging its feet in giving you a fair settlement that allows you to start the repair process, call us today at 1-800-747-3733. The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine know how to represent your best interest in negotiations and in court.
Working on Your Behalf
The Insurance Information Institute reports that fire and lightning caused 35.1% of all homeowner insurance loss claims in 2017 in the United States, only trailing wind and hail in causing property losses. Unfortunately, fires are all too common.
Your insurance company should treat you fairly after an accidental fire, issuing a payment as quickly as possible, so you can return to your normal life. When this is not happening for whatever reason, look for a fire claims lawyer in West Palm Beach to protect your right to seek compensation for your losses.
