Homeowners Insurance Attorneys

Helping Home Insurance Policyholders Recover From Disaster

If you are dealing with flooding, fire, or other damage to your home, your homeowners insurance may be the last line of defense against financial ruin. Your home is both a financial and emotional investment, and homeowners insurance is intended to cover all losses under the terms of the policy. Many times, the damage may not be limited to the structure and can extend to both the interior and exterior of the property.

It can be hard to get home insurance companies to honor claims after a catastrophic event that impacts many homeowners – like a hurricane, tornado, wildfires, or widespread flooding – as they become inundated with claims and face the prospect of shelling out a lot of money.

That's why it is important to work with homeowners insurance claim attorneys who can stand up for your rights. If you have a claim that’s been delayed, denied, or devalued in Columbia, South Carolina, HHP Law Group can help you fight for the amount that your home damage is worth.

What Documents are Needed When Filing a Homeowners Insurance Claim?

Every insurer has its own standards and procedures for submitting a claim. However, you will likely need to provide some or all of the following documents:

  • Before and after property photos or videos of the damage

  • Damage repair estimates

  • Receipts for covered expenses

  • List of lost or damaged contents

  • Proof of value of claimed contents

  • Receipts for displacement expenses

Having your insurance policy handy, along with your homeowners insurance company’s contact information, will also help expedite the process. Getting a head start on the claims process can help ensure you recover the compensation you’re entitled to. Contact a homeowners insurance attorney for help as soon as possible after property damage occurs.
