When disaster strikes, navigating the aftermath can be overwhelming. Furlow Law Firm has been a beacon of support for thousands of Gulf Coast residents and property owners in the wake of Hurricane Beryl. We understand the challenges faced by those dealing with property damage and insurance claims. If you find yourself in need of guidance, supplies, or assistance with your Hurricane Beryl claim, we are here to help. In the meantime, let's walk through the crucial steps to take after experiencing a loss.
1. File Early
File your claim early to avoid unnecessary delays. The TWIA deadlines are extremely short and can kill your claim if not met. Call us anytime for a free no obligation evaluation. We have extensive experience in these matters and never charge a fee unless we collect additional funds for you.
2. Document
Take photos and notes of all debris and damage as you find it to show the state of your property after the storm and avoid claims that the weather “wasn’t that bad”. The first step in property damage recovery is evaluating the extent of the damage. Take photos and document all affected areas, belongings, and structural issues to provide evidence for your insurance claim.
3. Write Down Names
Next, reach out to your insurance company to file a claim promptly. Provide them with detailed information about the damage and follow their instructions for an efficient claims process. Keep notes of adjuster names and numbers and any statements they make. Often insurance companies change adjusters several times during a claim and it is important to keep a list of names and chronology of events.
4. Keep Track of Expenses
Throughout the recovery process, keep a record of all expenses incurred, including repairs, temporary housing, and any other relevant costs. These records are crucial for reimbursement and tax purposes.
5. Removing Damage
If you must remove a tree and it damaged other covered property be sure to photograph the damaged property it landed on or damaged. This can be the difference in coverage for the tree removal and the damaged property.
If you must throw away personal property that is wet be sure to make a list and take photographs of the damage.
