It is common to assume that if you have a good, solid insurance policy that should you suffer a disaster like fire or flood you will be adequately compensated. Unfortunately this is not always the case; insurance companies are businesses like any other and subsequent need to make a profit to survive.
Whether your disaster occurs at home or at your business premises you should never rely on your insurance company to give you an adequate sum – rebuilding your home, business and life is now a priority and leaving it to chance is not advisable. The insurance company will assign a loss adjuster to your case to ensure that (legally) the insurance company only pays out what it has to. This mean the adjuster will pick through your claims and any mistakes you make could be punishable by a lower payout. Given the fact you are unlikely to have the expertise and knowledge to deal with the claim successfully it is advisable to get assistance to ensure you get a payout that will allow you to rebuild your life.
Insurance loss assessors are your secret weapon here – like loss adjusters the loss assessor will be picking through the claim in order to adjust the claim fee. However the insurance loss assessor will be working solely for you and with your interests in mind. They will deal with all the paperwork from your insurance company that otherwise you would have to deal with yourself. They will liaise with the insurance company directly to ensure that the payout you get directly reflects your losses.
The insurance loss assessor will aid you every step of the way through the insurance claim process ensuring that you get what you require to rebuild your home and business. You will have invested years of effort and love into your home or business and you should be prepared to put the required effort in to ensure that you have many more happy years there.
The little known role of the loss assessor is your secret weapon for both making your life that little bit easier during the daunting process of insurance claims and ensuring that you get the financial settlement you require to continue with your life.
