5 Essential Steps to Take After a Tornado
In the aftermath of the recent tornado, the steps you take in these critical first few days can greatly impact your recovery. Here’s a few steps to ensure your property and claim are protected.
- Document Everything:
Capture high-resolution photos and videos of all visible damage, not only to your property but also the surrounding areas. Comprehensive documentation strengthens your claim.
- Notify Your Insurance Carrier
Report the damage to your insurance company promptly to initiate the claims process. Make sure to note who you spoke with, what was discussed , dates and times.
- Secure Your Property
Make temporary repairs to prevent further damage, but avoid permanent fixes until the insurance company has completed its inspection.
- Avoid Guesswork
Navigating a tornado claim can be overwhelming. Fortunately, you don’t have to go through it alone. Professional guidance ensures nothing is missed, and your claim is handled with precision.
- Contact Your Public Adjuster
A licensed public adjuster works exclusively for you; not the insurance company. At Mission Property Loss Consultants, we meticulously document your loss, advocate on your behalf, and negotiate fair settlements that reflect the true extent of your damage.
