Public Adjusters for Collapse Damage
As your policyholder advocate, we clear potential roadblocks with your insurance company to get you the money you are entitled to from your house collapse claim.
A house collapse can happen from sudden natural disasters like a mudslide or hidden causes that over time compromised the structural integrity of your home, such as insufficient construction methods and draining systems, decay, and infestation. Even heavy collection of rainwater on your rooftop could lead to roof damage and be considered a cause of your house collapse.
Still, your homeowners insurance policy may state exclusions or limitations related to these causes that could limit your coverage if you suffer collapse property damage. It can leave you vulnerable to an unreasonable damage assessment by your insurance company and its adjusters that will not get you what you deserve. That is why our team of public adjusters works only on your behalf, bringing to the situation unmatched professional experience in claim management. We have helped policyholders in San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Pleasanton, Santa Barbara, Malibu, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Encino, Torrance, Riverside, Orange County, Irvine, Palm Springs, and San Diego — as well as in and around Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada. Our public adjusters are fluent in your policy coverage, properly evaluate and document the extent of property damage, and negotiate your collapse claim for the maximum amount so you and your family can recover sooner.
What To Focus On After Collapse Damage
-
How much do I really need to know?
-
How can I minimize the emotional toll on my family?
-
How can I minimize the effect on my work/career?
-
How large an advance should I expect?
-
Is there anyone on my side?
-
How much time over the next several months will you need to put aside to handle your claim properly? How will all those hours affect your family? Your job?
-
What is the emotional investment that you will need to commit to the process?
-
Can you get paid for your time?
-
Are you entitled to an advance from the insurance company? What is reasonable?
-
What is your broker or agent’s role? Will his/her role be active or passive? When faced with supporting your position or the insurance company’s, where will he/she stand?
-
Are you familiar with the forms/practices below and what their request/issuance is telescoping? Request for a Proof of Loss. Reservation of Rights letter. Request for an Examination Under Oath.
-
What does it mean when the insurance company recommends a preferred vendor? Who is this vendor working for, really?
-
Contractors may tell you they can do what public adjusters can do. Can they really? What is their background and education in insurance? Are they bonded? In many states, like California, it’s even against the law!
-

-
What is the difference between functional replacement and true replacement? Should you care? Why?
-
How is actual cash value determined?
-
Can you do the repairs yourself? Are you entitled to the profit that a contractor would typically charge? Are you entitled to the overhead that a contractor would typically charge?
-
What are the benefits and the pitfalls of replacing your home vs. selling?
-
Do you have to replace on the same site? Can you buy or build elsewhere?
-
