FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TORNADO DAMAGE CLAIMS

How much damage results from a tornado?

keyboard_arrow_down
Each year in the U.S, tornadoes do around $400 million in damage and cause about 70 deaths on average. Super high winds tear commercial and residential properties apart.

How to know if I should file a tornado claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
Most advisably, you have damages validated BEFORE notifying your insurer to avoid a frivolous claim. There are no fixed rules on what is sure to cause the damage. For instance, damage can even result from gusts of 60 mph and 1-inch hail based on the surface affected by it.

Will a tornado damage claim increase my premiums?

keyboard_arrow_down
Usually, an “act of God” insurance claim will not raise your premium. But on the other hand, even if you do not turn in an insurance claim or are not affected by a big catastrophic storm, the rate will likely increase because many other people file claims.

What to do if I have a partially denied claim or a claim denial?

In this case, you are recommended to get Four Elements Adjusters to review the claim and offer a secondary coverage opinion.

How to know if a public adjuster is necessary on my tornado damage claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
Insurers tend to require thorough estimates written in a specialized piece of software. Also, unfortunately, many commercial property owners have a partially denied claim. Mastering Xactimate and having extensive insurance experience, Four Elements Adjusters make sure to close your claims professionally, promptly, fairly, and with reduced stress.

What if my insurer does not pay Overhead and Profit on my tornado damage claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
O & P (Overhead and profit) is a portion of your contractor bill. Sometimes, insurance companies do not pay this on the claim’s roofing portion because they consider it already part of the Xactimate estimate. Should your insurer not pay, there are ways to negotiate this lack of agreement. For details, do contact us.

How to cover depreciation while rebuilding my property?

keyboard_arrow_down
Necessarily, you keep checks, invoices, and receipts. Some insurers require photographs of the completed work. You are recommended to keep records of everything from the 1st day of your damage claim. That way, Four Elements Adjusters can provide the greatest assistance in recovering your depreciation.
