And remember, if you find yourself with insurance claims disputes, don’t hesitate to call the professionals at Norcia Insurance Consultants. 

What is the first thing I should do after my home’s been damaged?

First, make sure everyone is safe. Once you’ve ensured everyone’s safety, contact your insurance agent or your insurance claims adjuster for instructions on what to do until they arrive. You can begin preparing an inventory of personal property damaged and take pictures of any damage to the property. Our insurance claims professionals from Norcia can do all of this for you as well.

If possible, find temporary shelter either with family or friends. Or, rent temporary shelter. If your home is uninhabitable because of physical damage, most homeowners’ policies will pay additional living expenses while your property is being repaired.

My home was damaged in a flood, is that covered?

Unfortunately, chances are, your policy does not cover flood damage. Most policies cover damage from falling water or rain blown by the wind, but not from rising water or flooding. In many cases, homeowners must have a separate or additional flood policy that covers rising water or flooding.

Why is the settlement lower than expected? 

Ask for clarification. If it cites an exclusion or other specific language in your policy, ask it to point out the section. Or, call the professionals at Norcia and we can help settle any insurance claims disputes.

The weather is warming and summer is just weeks away. And with warming temperatures also come damaging storms. While most homeowners have insurance that will cover any severe weather damages, insurance claims disputes can still arise. Insurance companies can and do occasionally deny legitimate claims. That’s where we come in. The experts at Norcia Insurance Consultants can help you resolve such insurance claims disputes and work to get you what you deserve. We have years of experience helping Wisconsin homeowners with insurance claims disputes and can help you when you need it most.

First of all, when a storm damages your home, don’t contact your insurance company to file insurance claims directly. Give us a call from the very beginning. With assistance from the experts at Norcia, we can take care of this for you. We can come to your home, talk to your insurance company for you, explain to you what is unfolding, clarify all aspects of the paperwork and go over contracts to help you understand them. This can help keep insurance claims disputes from ever even coming up.

We will be able to walk you through every step in the insurance claim process. Even if you are unsure whether the damage warrants an insurance claim, we can get you the help you need to get you started. Even if a claim is fairly minor, like a cracked or broken window that won’t exceed your annual deductible, you should still report that damage.

If you’ve already filed your claim and received a response you do not agree with from your insurance company, we can help you review your original claim to search for ways to improve it before opening a dispute. The claim you originally filed, if filed without our help, could contain mistakes or lack information that may have changed the insurance company’s answer.

Many insurance companies, rather than standing by their policyholders, try to dispute claims or vastly underestimate property losses. As a claimant, you should dispute an insurance claim if you believe you deserve a different response from the claims adjuster. The timing of when to launch your dispute can be imperative to the future of your claim. At Norcia Insurance Consultants, our insurance claims disputes experts can help with the paperwork, timing and everything in between.
