Making a Business Insurance Claim after Fire Damage to your Office, Warehouse or Shop

 

Business Insurance Claims can be a Minefield

Fires are distressing at any time, and can be extremely upsetting when they effect your business,and  in the  worse case can lead to to the failure of the business.  Smoke often causes a great deal of damage well away from the actual fire damage.


Even with small fires which cause only superficial damage, 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 have health implications,in addition to damaging your contents and decoration. Your sprinkler system and the fire fighters can also cause damage controlling the fire. 


Your Insurance company will send their loss adjuster to assess the damage and is not there to  help you with filing your business insurance claim for structural damage, time lost from the business, property and water damage. As he his working for your insurance company and not for you, he is not required to help you settle your claim fairly. 


After the fire is extinguished the next move could be to find a new home for your business, salvaging whatever can be saved from the effects of the fire and making sure the building is protected from further damage.
