When to Hire an Attorney for a Property Damage Claim
When commercial or residential properties sustain heavy damage and require substantial repairs, you will likely need to submit a property damage claim to your insurance provider for assistance. Property damage claims are simply requests from the affected party for coverage of their losses. A property damage claim can extend to any insured property including cars, boats, airplanes, etc. Damage to a home or business, on the other hand, is more likely to necessitate the services of a property damage lawyer.
