As we enter the time of year when thunderstorms are an almost daily occurrence in North Florida, I thought I'd take the time to walk you through the basics of submitting a homeowners insurance claim. Whether a claim is the result of the weather is beside the point. While lightning strikes and wind damage are common during the summer months, the same process holds true if your home is damaged by a fire or a burst pipe. What's vitally important when your home is damaged is that you understand the ins and outs of the claim process. Get it right and you'll be able to make your property as good as new. Get it wrong and you could wind up getting less than you deserve from your insurer or having your claim denied.
