Fire Damage
At ACTS LAW, LLP our attorneys help families and business owners through the difficult and complex process of handling their fire insurance claims.
We understand the financial impact of fire tragedies and the urgency required in getting claims processed as quickly as possible so that victims can restore their property and their lives.
Fire damage can be devastating to homes and businesses. Property owners often suffer significant financial and personal loss from these unfortunate events; which are not only traumatic for victims and their families but can be extremely stressful as well. People are often left without homes, electricity and basic necessities in the aftermath. Although the loss of personal items that have sentimental or financial value can prove to be a painful experience for many, it doesn’t have to be hopeless.
Additionally, fires often create additional problems that owners don’t immediately consider. These problems can sometimes go unnoticed, spreading and creating major issues that are costly to repair. Owners may face a difficult predicament if insurance companies refuse to cover the damages. In some cases, they will attempt to place blame on the homeowner or business owner in order to avoid paying the claim. In these situations, it is important to know your rights. Some common problems caused by fire damage include:
- Structural damage
- Water damage
- Wind damage
- Melting
- Roof damage and leaking
- Plumbing and electrical damage
- Burn and smoke damage
- Wood damage
