Insurance claim tips
Document before cleanup. Get a real inspection from licensed local contractors, not door-knockers. Beware storm-chasers. Don't sign an Assignment of Benefits blindly. File within 30-60 days.
Emergency vs claim work
Emergency work (tarp-off, board-up, water extraction) is covered separately from the claim negotiation. Don't wait for adjuster approval before mitigating.
