There are certain steps you must follow for a successful commercial insurance claim:
As soon as the incident occurs, notify your insurance company. Once they receive your notice, they will turn it over to an adjuster who may either be part of their staff or work for an independent firm. Keep in mind that yours will not be the only case the adjuster will be handling at one time. Also, stay mindful that the adjuster has the insurance company’s best interests in mind and not yours.
You will be contacted by the adjuster to schedule a time to inspect the damage and losses. Have everything ready and any paperwork on hand since the adjuster will probably be on a tight schedule and will not have much spare time to spend digging through disorganized information about your claim.
The adjuster may make specific requests and you should take them seriously and comply with them. They may request that you provide pictures of any damaged areas or items prior to the incident, or that you separate damaged from undamaged items. Or that you be willing to allow additional inspections by other evaluators, such as engineers.
You may start receiving unsolicited offers from contractors, roofers, or public adjusters claiming they want to offer assistance with your claim. Before accepting any offers, screen them and compare them with what your own insurance company is offering. If you discover that the estimates prepared by your insurance have major discrepancies when compared to the unsolicited ones, it may be time to have your policy reviewed by the expert team of commercial damage insurance claims lawyers from Charles Injury Law in Fort Lauderdale.
You may be pleasantly surprised and find that your insurance responded with an offer of a reasonable settlement. It is common for them to request additional proofs of loss, they may offer you less than what you consider reasonable, or outright deny your claim.
When your business is dealing with business insurance claims, having your claim denied or underpaid or being treated unfairly by your insurance company is not something you should accept without argument. There are options open to you and there is a legal team of commercial insurance claim experts at Charles Injury Law that can guide you through them. We will conduct a free, no-obligation review of your policy and your claim.

If necessary, we can also work with you through an appraisal in order to determine the real value of your losses.
