Finding that a fire has damaged your business is not something to be just shrugged off, and can possibly even threaten the very future of the business. The fire not only causes damage in the immediate area but the smoke can effect parts of the building a great distance away.
you often find that the corrosive and acrid effects of smoke can be detected for months after the fire itself has been extinguished. This can present a health hazard, as well as damaging the contents of the building and decorative finish. Other damage which most often occurs is water damage caused by fire fighters and sprinkler systems. Your insurance company’s loss adjuster will not help you fill in the paperwork to settle your claim for structural damage, damage caused by water, time and goods lost from the business. Loss adjusters work directly for the insurance company and although charged with settling your claim fairly are not accountable to you.
After the fire is extinguished the next move is to find a new home for your business, make sure the damaged building is safe from further damage and salvaging the remains of your belonging. With these priority measures completed you should call an insurance loss assessor such as Truman Associates to liaise on your behalf with your insurers and guarantee the claim is processed and settled in the most beneficial way to you.
