While you are still on your own, Christopher Ligori and Associates would like to remind fellow Floridians to always apply the following recovery tips that will help dealing with the aftermath:
- Stay away from downed power lines, even if they do not appear to be working. Be safe and call the power company to report any outages.
- Photograph and document every damage on your property. Documenting the damage thoroughly with photos will make any insurance claim process easier. In addition to photos, you should keep a running list of all damaged items.
- Only conduct emergency repairs. Do only what is necessary to prevent further damage after a hurricane (maybe covering broken windows with plastic or your roof with tarps to keep the rain out). You should not make or pay for permanent repairs until an insurance adjuster reviews the damage. We know… it’s tempting to start cleaning up and throwing out damaged items to leave the storm behind, but your insurance company needs to see what happened firsthand.
- Secure your Home Inventory. No, you are not allowed to say “my what?”. It is crucial to compile a home inventory of your possessions BEFORE a storm strikes and keep it in a safe place. It could consist of a list that documents the content of your home. The inventory should be completed with photos, detailed descriptions, and ideally, purchase receipts. This will make any insurance claims process much easier.
- File a claim as soon as possible. We know only too well that insurance companies sometimes apply the “first-come, first-served” rule; so it is really in your best interest to file an insurance claim ASAP. An adjuster will then come to your property, go through the damage and determine the importance of your payout.
- Last but not least: Do not let a single event overwhelm your entire life.
