Advice for New Orleans Home Owners
• Disasters
A few suggestions for the victims of Katrina to make filing for insurance damage more easy:
STEP 1: Call Your Insurer Promptly. Give them an accurate description of the extent of damage. They will arrange for a claims adjustor to visit the site and assess the extent of your losses.
STEP 2: Document Your Claims. Do an inventory of every room. To receive full reimbursement for your losses, you need to document them systematically. Don’t rely on memory alone - equip yourself with reporter’s tools: pens, paper and a camera.
STEP 3: Get Your Home Ready. You can take a few measures on your own to help prevent further damage.
