All services
Residential Property Claims
When the insurance company assigns an adjuster to your home claim, you should have one too. We work for Fort Lee homeowners — not the insurer.
- ✓ Free initial claim review
- ✓ Damage documentation + scope preparation
- ✓ Direct carrier negotiation
Commercial Property Claims
Commercial property claims require simultaneous handling of physical damage, business interruption, and extra expense coverage. We coordinate all three so your settlement reflects the full loss.
- ✓ Property + business interruption + extra expense
- ✓ Commercial policy review (BOP, package, separate)
- ✓ Tenant + multi-party claim coordination
Fire Damage Claims
House fires, commercial kitchen fires, electrical fires, lithium-ion battery fires — different fire causes have different policy implications. We frame the cause-of-loss narrative to match your coverage.
- ✓ Smoke + soot + HVAC contamination documentation
- ✓ Contents inventory with replacement cost values
- ✓ ALE / Loss of Use claim through full timeline
Water Damage Claims
Fort Lee water damage claims are denied or underpaid more often than any other claim type. The fight is usually over cause-of-loss framing (sudden vs gradual) and the realistic drying timeline. Both are documentation issues we solve.
- ✓ Hidden water damage documentation (moisture mapping, infrared)
- ✓ IICRC S500 scope alignment with restoration contractor
- ✓ Sudden vs gradual framing for policy coverage
Storm & Hurricane Claims
Hail damage to roofs is commonly underpaid by 30-50% because adjusters scope only obvious dents and miss the granule loss, mat damage, and shortened lifespan that constitute the real loss.
- ✓ Wind vs flood framing for proper coverage
- ✓ Hurricane deductible analysis
- ✓ Engineering reports for structural damage
Mold Claims
Mold sublimits in NJ homeowner policies vary from $5,000 (default in some carriers) to $50,000+ (with endorsement). We read the policy and frame the claim to access the highest applicable limit.
- ✓ Cause-and-effect framing (mold as resulting damage)
- ✓ IICRC S520 protocol alignment
- ✓ Mold sublimit analysis per policy
Denied or Underpaid Claim Appeals
A claim that has been denied or underpaid can often be reopened with proper documentation and policy analysis. Most denials are not final; most underpayments can be supplemented.
- ✓ Free initial review of denial letter or settlement
- ✓ Policy re-read against the specific denial reason
- ✓ Supplemental scope documentation
Business Interruption Claims
Business income and extra expense claim representation for Fort Lee commercial policyholders. We coordinate with forensic accountants when the loss size justifies it and frame the BI claim for full recovery.
- ✓ Business income calculation against actual loss
- ✓ Extra expense optimization within policy limits
- ✓ Forensic accounting coordination for larger claims
