Common Claim Mistakes That Cost You Money
Listening to “Go Get 3 Estimates” from Your Carrier's 800# “Desk Clerk”
Whether it be a clerk, the field adjuster, or a desk insurance adjuster — you are under NO obligation to quit your job to interview multiple tradespeople! You're being lied to or misled already by your carrier.
Your carrier will owe you a like-kind and/or quality repair that's adequate to restore pre-storm conditions.
Signing a contract without understanding cancellation rights
Accepting the first ACV check as final payment
Not filing for recoverable depreciation after the job
Allowing the carrier to dictate your contractor choice
Not documenting ALL damage before cleanup begins
Missing supplement deadlines after hidden damage is found
Cashing the insurance check before endorsing with mortgage company
Not requesting a copy of the adjuster's scope of loss
Hiring unlicensed contractors who can't pull permits
