Navigating the Insurance Claims Process: A Guide for Homeowners and Restoration Contractors

As homeowners, we invest in insurance policies for financial protection against unforeseen disasters. The fancy term is indemnification: policyholders pay premiums to insurers, who, in return, agree to compensate for losses or damages.

However, the reality of filing a claim for your property damage can be far from smooth. Insurance companies may employ tactics to delay, deny, or underpay legitimate claims, leaving homeowners and restoration contractors in a challenging position.


Common Insurance Tactics:
  • Delay Tactics: Insurance companies may intentionally slow down the claims process, hoping policyholders will become frustrated and settle for less.
  • Excessive Documentation Requests: Demanding unnecessary paperwork can create delays and confusion.
  • Misinterpreting Policy Language: Insurers may selectively interpret policy language to minimize coverage.
  • Low Initial Settlement Offers: Initial offers may significantly undervalue the actual cost of repairs.
  • Ignoring or Dismissing Evidence: Crucial evidence from restoration professionals may be overlooked or dismissed.
  • Shifting Blame to Excluded Causes: Insurers may try to attribute damage to excluded causes in the policy.
  • Imposing Unnecessary Repair Requirements: Insurers may demand strict, unreasonable repair standards, leading to additional costs.
  • Misleading Communication: Ambiguous language or misinformation can discourage claimants from pursuing a fair claim.
