When a storm, including a hurricane, tornado, or other windstorm, causes damage to your home or business, you will likely experience the resulting emotional loss along with the financial loss. It is at this time your insurance company is expected to fulfill its promise and compensate you, its policyholder, for your losses in a timely manner. Unfortunately, this is not always the way a claim is handled by an insurer. When an insurer undervalues, underpays, or delays the adjustment and payment of a claim, the emotional and financial loss to the insured is significantly increased.
Pilka & Associates helps its clients with the claim process. We, and the experts we utilize on your behalf, assist in every stage of the claim process from claim preparation, to documentation of events and damage, through litigation or appraisal, until the final settlement or judgment. We help our clients review their insurance policy to maximize coverage, retain appropriate experts and coordinate their inspections and data compilation, and assist in the submission of our clients’ claims.
Unfortunately, more than just the submission of your claim is frequently necessary to force the insurer to live up to its obligations. In those cases, we initiate appraisal or litigation to enforce your contract rights in the courts. The course we utilize differs from case to case depending upon the facts, amounts in dispute, the terms and conditions of the insurance policy and our client’s needs and desires.
At Pilka & Associates, we do everything possible to maximize your recovery.
