Public Adjuster For Lightning Insurance Claims
Who would have thought lightning had the capability to strike their home or business and cause substantial damage? Commonly, lightning strikes electrical cabling, burning them out and creating a surge of power which destroys everything that is connected to it. This sometimes results in a devastating fire.
Although it is rare to get struck, it is still good to be on the safe side and cover all your assets. Although a building may contain lightning rods or a nearby higher metallic point, disaster can still occur. Lightning does not always reach the highest level. Lightning can quickly strike lower-lying objects or create an arc and strike multiple points or objects simultaneously.
Likewise, lighting hits overhanging electrical lines that allow a wave of energy to enter your home and destroy your electrical network, including all outlet connections. After the strike, you’ll be left without working appliances or air conditioning. Electronic systems, televisions, and computers, which are very expensive to replace, will be destroyed. If you have sustained lightning damage to your home or business, let Property Damage Consultants assist you with your insurance claim.
Wherever you are, natural disasters will hit. The only variable between different locations is the probability of attack. Lighting strikes may or may not happen, however, it is a good idea to have insurance covering of your home or business. Your property is something you’ve invested large sums of time, effort and money in. Once you’ve invested in security, you’ll will be free to enjoy your daily activities without thinking about what might go wrong.
To cause thousands of dollars in damage, it only takes one lightning strike. Lightning strikes can cause substantial damage to homes, commercial buildings, churches, and other private property. Electrical infrastructures are destroyed when lightning strikes buildings directly; however, lightning does not have to to hit the building to cause damage. Damage from nearby strikes can cause electrical loss, fires, and personal injury from trees or other objects dropping as a result. Insurance companies pay valid claims for damage caused by lighting in many cases on time and in accordance to the terms of the insurance contract but only if you have a skilled claims adjuster on your side.
Understanding Lightning Damage Insurance Claims
For lightning strikes that do not result in a consequential loss due to fire, most of the damage is caused by the strike’s electrical surge. While not always understood instantly, lightning can cause catastrophic damage to your home or business’s appliances, electronics, computers, telecommunications systems, electrical fixtures, and electrical infrastructure. The resulting damage, once identified and measured, may be significantly greater than what one initially believes, possibly resulting in temporary loss of use to the homeowner or significant loss of business income.
The next step would be to determine and evaluate the extent of the damage caused by any electrical surge that took place on the property’s electrical system, its appliances and electronics.
- Are contents such as appliances, computers, electronics, and stereo equipment damaged?
- Are construction goods affected, such as integrated telephone systems or electrical infrastructure?
- If so, to what extent have these items been damaged by the lightning power surge?
