If your South Florida home has been damaged by a fire, your home insurer should compensate the damages, provided that provision was in your policy. Unfortunately, the insurance claims process can be complicated, and it is easy to make a costly mistake in filing a claim. 

To file a fire damage claim, you will have to take the following actions:  

• Review your policy to determine what type of homeowners insurance coverage you have.
• Appraise your damage.
• Prepare an estimate of the damages, and submit the necessary documents.
• Negotiate a payment with your insurance company’s adjuster. 

During this process, it is always a benefit to have the help of an experienced professional on your side. For professional help with the insurance claims process, you can hire a public adjuster, or you can hire a South Florida fire damage lawyer. 

One of the key factors to note in making this decision is that if you have a problem with your insurer, you may need to take legal action. For this reason, it is better to hire a South Florida fire damage lawyer. 

A South Florida fire damage lawyer can take legal action against your homeowners insurance company if your insurer: 

• does not respond to your fire damage claim;
• delays the investigation;
• underestimates the value of your claim; and/or
• denies your claim altogether.
