As a homeowner, the last thing you want is to deal with property damage. Whether it's caused by a natural disaster or an unfortunate accident, the aftermath can be overwhelming. However, one of the most crucial steps in dealing with the situation is documenting any and all damage.
Luckily, our public claims adjusters are here to help! Let’s explore why documentation is so essential and why hiring a public adjuster, like us here at Liberty Adjusters, is essential for your claim's success!
Documenting Damage is Not Optional
Consider this... If a tree falls on your home but no one can see it, will you really be compensated fairly? Documenting damage isn’t just a plus, it’s a NEED. Here are a couple of reasons why:
It's essential for insurance claims
When filing an insurance claim, documentation is critical to the process. Your insurance adjuster needs to see the damage to your property to determine the extent of the damage and how much compensation you're entitled to. Without documentation, it's difficult to prove the damage, making it more challenging to receive a fair payout.
It helps with repairs
Documenting the damage can also help with repairs. Having photos and documentation of the damage can help repair professionals understand the extent of the damage and what repairs need to be made. This can help ensure that repairs are done correctly, and you can get back to your daily life as soon as possible.
How to Document the Damage
We understand that documenting damage may not sound like the most thrilling activity, but it's necessary. Here are some tips to make the process a bit more manageable:
Take photos and videos of the damage: Be sure to get shots from different angles and distances to provide a full view. Take a video to give your insurance adjuster a more comprehensive understanding of the damage before we arrive. (Of course, our adjusters can capture these for your property claim. Helpful for hard-to-reach damage like roof claims.)
Write down important details: Include the date and time of the damage, what caused it, and any other relevant details. This information can help you remember important details and provide a more accurate account of the damage.
Keep receipts and invoices for any repairs made: You may be able to select your own contractors. If so, using this documentation can help you prove that repairs were made and provide evidence for any insurance claims related to the repairs.
