After A Fire At Your Business Premises: Dealing With Your Business Insurance Claim

Posted on July 23rd, 2010

Dealing with the consequences of any fire at your business premises can be both traumatic and distressing,
and can possibly even threaten the very future of the business.
Not only does the fire itself cause damage but there is usually smoke damage to parts of the building well away from the actual seat of the fire. Even in the case of a small fire which has apparently caused little physical damage, there are consequences of the fire such as smoke damage which can still be detected weeks after the fire itself has been put out. 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.

The loss adjuster your Insurance Company employs will help you with the basics to settle the Business Insurance Claim for damage to the building, time lost from the business, property and water damage. As he his working for your insurance company and not for you, a loss adjuster is not required to help you settle your claim fairly.
