After a Fire, Part 2: Communicating With the Insurance Company
There are a number of ways to go about communicating with your insurance company. First, in person is always perfectly acceptable. I expect that many of you who have already been impacted by the tragic fires that we’ve seen in Colorado recently have already met on-site with the insurance adjuster. Perfectly fine.
What I strongly encourage each and every one of you to do is to keep a diary. Just make notes. And I encourage a paper diary, so it’s a document you can take with you, or a notebook you can take with you, even when you’re on-site.
- Jot down the dates and times that you’re meeting with the insurance adjuster.
- How long did the meeting last?
- What did the insurance adjuster do?
- What questions did you ask?
- What were the answers that were given?
- What questions did the adjuster ask?
- What answers were you given?
- Were there any promises made?
You will find that this will be an incredible resource for you as time goes on.
