Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) January 08, 2010 - Homeowners can take steps to let the claim process run more smoothly, helping prevent their homeowners insurance claim from being denied, according to a recent article on InsuranceAgents.com.
In many parts of the country, homeowners are trying to pick up the pieces of their homes belongings, damaged from high winds and severe storms. Extreme weather has ripped off roofs, flooded homes, torn down walls. It would be best if homeowners included features to their homes including hurricane shutters, strong and sturdy roofing material, storm doors, impact-proof window glass, etc. But not all homeowners get around to installing these items. And once the damage is done, it's done. After disaster strikes and damage's one's home, homeowners end up praying that their homeowners insurance claims to their providers will not be denied.
If disaster strikes-say, a flood, for instance-it's important for homeowners not to waste any time. Filing the homeowners insurance claim immediately is the first step to making the claim process go smoothly. Homeowners should ask their insurance agent exactly what information regarding the disaster situation they need from them to file the claim.
The InsuranceAgents.com article, 'How to File a Homeowners Insurance Claim,' strongly encourages homeowners to assess the damage done and then document it. "It's always a good idea to document any damages that occur in your home. Take photographs or video (closer photos provide more details) of your furniture, any damaged rooms and walls, your own personal belongings, etc. Separate all of your personal belongings and home content-the damaged from the undamaged."
It is also not recommended for homeowners to throw away any damaged content, as the insurance claims adjuster will want to inspect it.
Now is the time for homeowners to educate themselves on how to disaster-proof their home; it's important for them to know the ins and outs of filing a homeowners insurance claim. Let's face it-these days, paying to repair home damages out-of-pocket isn't always money many homeowners have lying around. In fact, it can cause a serious strain on years' worth of savings. Obtaining a strong home insurance policy and also knowing how to file a homeowners insurance claim can mean the difference between severe debt and extreme savings if a natural disaster were to strike.
