Insurance tips for storm damage ; If your home or car has been damaged by this week's storm:
• Call your insurance agent or company as soon as possible.
• Inspect your home closely for damage and take notes and pictures. This can assist in settling claims. Support claims with written estimates.
• Secure your property to avoid further damage or theft. Save receipts because many insurers will cover those expenses.
• If you need to move out temporarily, check your policy to see if it will cover those costs.
• Get repair estimates before submitting a claim because it's possible the cost might not exceed the deductible or might be just over the deductible and not worth filing a claim.
• Check the background of any contractors or others who promise cheap repairs. Make sure they are bonded.
• Get several estimates from contractors and request references.
