And, you don\u2019t want to miss out on reporting a claim because you waited too long.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document everything.<\/strong> Your records of what happened may be the difference between your insurance company covering the claim or not.\u00a0 Keep track of every person you speak with by documenting their names, job title, date and the conversations you have with them.\u00a0\u00a0 Take photos of damage or broken property and make a list of its value when purchased.\u00a0\u00a0 It is important to have proof of what your property looked like before and after an accident.\u00a0 Photos and records will help you and the insurance company resolve claims correctly and quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make temporary repairs.<\/strong> Take action when property is damaged and make temporary repairs that prevent further damage. Insurance companies want you to take the first steps to fix the problem. Repair holes in your roof or walls and cover up furniture to avoid more harm.\u00a0 Don\u2019t make permanent changes or throw furniture or other items away until an adjuster inspects them. Take photos and save your receipts for the repairs and any temporary living expenses these expenses will be included in the claim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Settlement or Negotiation.<\/strong>Be prepared to negotiate.\u00a0 Insurance companies review the adjuster\u2019s assessment and determine the payout for your settlement.\u00a0 If the settlement does not meet your expectations, you can argue the payout by having an independent contractor give you a second or third opinion.\u00a0 With their estimates you can ask for a bigger payout.\u00a0 You can also bring in a public insurance adjuster.\u00a0 These non-partial third parties are experts in insurance claims and can help build you case for a larger payout.\u00a0 Keep in mind that they charge homeowners for their services sometime 10% of the settlement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Insurance claims are never a fun process but with these tips you can better educate and prepare yourself to get a fair settlement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Believe it or not, most businesses rarely have to ever submit a claim to their insurance company.
