Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions
How long do I have to file a property damage claim?
Deadlines depend on the type of claim, the parties involved, the insurance policy, and the facts of the loss. Because deadlines can be strict, it is important to document the damage and seek legal guidance promptly.
What should I document after property damage?
Take photographs and video, preserve damaged items when possible, keep repair estimates and receipts, record communications, and maintain a timeline of the loss and related expenses. These records can help show the full impact of the damage.
Can I recover loss-of-use or rental-income losses?
Depending on the facts and available coverage, a claim may include losses tied to displacement, inability to use the property, or interrupted rental income. The available recovery depends on the evidence and applicable law.
