Did your homeowner's insurance company not pay enough to repair your home?
Most homeowners are unaware of their rights when making an homeowners insurance claim. Insurance companies have one goal – to make more money. The insurance companies make their money by collecting premium payments, and in return, paying as little as possible for insurance claims. This means that the insurance companies have a financial interest in denying or underpaying the value of the insurance claim.
The homeowner does not have to accept the insurance company’s valuation of the claim. The homeowner can dispute the valuation and hire his/her own loss consultant or contractor to evaluate the loss and prepare an estimate for the repairs. The homeowner can provide the insurance company proof that the payment will not cover the cost of repairs and request additional payment. The homeowner can pursue this option even if payment has already been tendered and accepted.The insurance companies go through great lengths to hide this option from the homeowner.
