Dealing with Wind-Related Damage
Strong winds can wreak havoc—uprooting trees, damaging roofs, and even affecting vehicles. In this episode, Bowers Law explains the steps you should take when wind damage occurs, whether the damage originates on your property or spills over from a neighbor’s yard.
Understanding Your Insurance Claims
When wind damage strikes, your homeowners insurance is your first line of defense. Even if the incident is caused by a neighbor’s tree, you typically must file a claim under your own policy. Bowers Law advises obtaining a professional estimate to determine if the damage exceeds your deductible before filing a claim.
Avoiding Unnecessary Claims
Knowing your deductible is crucial. If repair costs are below your deductible, it might be best to handle the repairs on your own to avoid unnecessary claims and potential premium increases. This proactive approach can save you money and hassle in the long run.
