Potential Causes of Fires
In a report on fire loss in the United States, the National Fire Protection Association revealed that a home fire occurs every 87 seconds on average. Fires have many different causes. Some of the top fire causes include:
- Arson by a third party
- Out-of-control recreational fire
- Wildfires
- Cooking accidents
- Electrical issues
- Malfunctioning appliances
- Lightning strikes
Regardless of what caused the fire, you deserve an accurate settlement from your insurance company for your covered losses. Having a fire claims lawyer in Gainesville on your side can help throughout this process.
Reimbursement for Your Fire Claim
As part of our work, we will collect evidence and verify the facts of your case to hold the insurance company accountable for your covered losses. Some of the items your insurer may cover include:
- Structural damage to the building’s exterior
- Replacement of interior construction
- Damage to wiring and pipes
- Damage to other structures on the property
- Smoke and soot clean-up
You may also be able to receive compensation for items other than what we have listed, such as costs for displacement or temporary relocation. Submitting your statement of losses is one of the most important steps in the claim, and we recommend that you have legal representation to help you record anything that may be covered under your policy.
Contact the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine as soon as possible at 1-800-747-3733, and we can begin consulting with the insurer on your behalf. We work on a contingency-fee-basis, so we will not receive payment unless you receive compensation for your claim.
Total Loss Reimbursement
In Florida, the Valued Policy Law requires that an insurance company pay the full insured value of the property if a total loss occurs as the result of a fire.
Even with this law, an insurer may not calculate your settlement accurately, omitting certain items for which you deserve compensation. We can review your policy and hold the insurance company accountable for upholding its terms.
