Practical Advice for Navigating Insurance Claims

At BB&L, we understand how overwhelming and stressful navigating insurance claims can be. Insurance policies are often complex, and dealing with adjusters or insurers can feel daunting. To help, here are practical steps to guide you through the process:

1. Communicate with your insurer.
   Start by negotiating directly. Document all interactions and keep detailed records of your claim for future reference.
2. Consider a public adjuster cautiously.
   Public adjusters can assist with large claims, but their fees—up to 20% of your settlement—may outweigh the benefit.
3. Contact an attorney for bad-faith practices.
   If your insurer delays, denies, or underpays unfairly, our team can intervene to protect your rights and secure fair compensation.
4. Document your losses.
   Make a detailed list of damages or lost items. Use photos, receipts, or proof of purchase, and don’t settle until all losses are accounted for.
