Public Adjusters for Commercial Properties Hailstorm Property Damage Claims
A hailstorm tore through your area and damaged your commercial property’s roof, siding, windows, and equipment. But you are not sure if you can see all the damage. You call your insurance company expecting that since they have handled this type of claim many times, they will know where to look for all the damage. Often the insurance adjuster that is sent does not have the expertise needed, and you are left with a settlement that does not cover all the repairs. The result is that later you are dealing with leaks, water damage, and structural issues. We know where to look and use state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology when necessary to inspect and account for all damage.
The hailstorm damaged every single one of our 54 buildings and we were faced with the daunting tasking of evaluating what we needed in order to properly repair our buildings. We obviously did not know what we needed because we are not contractors or experts at repairing buildings. The insurance company came in, acting as if they were on our side and offered to estimate the loss for us. Looking back, we should have seen an immediate red flag. We, after much delay, found out the hard way that letting the insurance company estimate our loss was not a good idea…After we found ourselves hung out to dry by the insurance company we did not know where to run…I consider every unit owner in the complex lucky that we made the smart decision to hire The Greenspan Co. / Adjusters International to stop the insurance company from continuing on the same path. It was clear, immediately after retaining your services, you were on the job. You took control of the adjustment process and told the insurance company what we were entitled to receive. You were unwavering in your approach and negotiation.
Having your own private adjuster assess the damage first before the insurance company’s adjuster can make the difference in securing a settlement that will fully restore your damaged property.
