Your Options When Your Insurance Company’s Hail Claim Settlement Seems Unfair
March 17, 2017The first thing you should do is request a re-inspection of the damages. It’s possible the insurance company missed or overlooked some damages. You should also have your own contractor to review the damages with your insurance company on your behalf. An independent contractor will point things out that the insurance company may have not considered.
If your insurance company still refuses to offer a fair settlement, consider hiring an attorney. Your attorney will provide a damage estimate with a settlement demand to your insurance company. If the insurance company refuses to settle, your attorney will take the next appropriate steps. Depending on your insurance carrier and your specific claim details, this may include a re-inspection, mediation, appraisal, or filing suit.
