Bedford Property Damage Lawyers

Whether it be through natural disasters, such as a severe stormfront, fire, or flood, property damages can be costly to repair. Home insurance companies can make recuperating for losses challenging, and force homeowners to jump through endless hoops and stalling progress. Minor repairs could add up to costly renovations, and may result in you and your family needing to stay elsewhere for an extended period of time. 

Property Damage Law in Canada 

Property Damage claims include cases in which accidental or intentional damage is done to a person’s property. This damage may occur as a result of natural forces, such as extreme weather events or a rotten tree falling, but may also be due to direct or indirect actions from a third party. Actions such as trespassing, negligence, or mischief may result in property damage, and in some extreme situations a criminal case may be warranted. 

Holding insurance companies accountable is a daunting task, especially when faced with having to manage everything that piles on you. Be sure to partner yourself with a trusted legal team to represent you, and ensure that you receive the money you are owed. At NOVA Injury Law, we’re ready to do the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to. 

Damage to your Property 

You’ve identified damage to your property, now what? Once you’ve ensured that the area is safe, start documenting the damage. Be sure to take lots of pictures of the property damage, surrounding area, and possible causes (i.e., broken tree branch). If damages have just occurred, such as in instances of vandalism or graffiti, seek out witnesses nearby, and collect their contact information to pass on to police or investigators. 

Thoroughly document the scene, citing the date and time, as well as location of the damage. Note down the current weather conditions and as well as weather reports, and any other details of importance. The more information you’re able to provide your legal team with, the more effectively we will be able to ensure you receive the insurance payment you are entitled to. 

Once you’ve collected as much information as possible, and started your claim through your home insurance provider, be sure to reach out to an experienced property damage legal team, like the trusted lawyers at NOVA Injury Law. 

Damages 

Property damage law cases can include damages caused by both natural disasters, and through intentional or mischievous damages. Typical examples of a natural disaster that 

resulted in property damage may include fires, flood, or extreme weather events. Intentional or mischievous damages may include acts of malicious or accidental destruction, as well as vandalism or graffiti. In instances of property damage through deliberate action or recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation through litigation. 

Filing a Claim 

If damage has occurred to your property, you will want to ensure you get the most of your insurance coverage and in a timely manner. In instances where substantial property damage has occurred, especially in instances of mischief or vandalism, filing a police report can be beneficial. In instances where first responders, like firefighters or police are called, an investigation of the scene will likely take place. This investigation may help strengthen your legal claim to ensure your insurance provider pays your dues. 

Be sure to collect all relevant information, details like weather conditions, witnesses, or causes. The more details you’re able to provide law enforcement in their investigation, the stronger the evidence available for your insurance claim. 

Collecting Compensation 

Compensation for property damage is usually a result of successful claim through your insurance provider. Claim payments may range in dollar value, and are often dependent on the extent and cause of damages. An experienced legal team, like the lawyers at NOVA Injury Law, will ensure you receive a fair claim payment for your case. 

Punitive Damages 

If you have evidence of criminal or malicious intent that resulted in property damages, and a police investigation determines this to be the case, you may be able to collect punitive damages. Our team at NOVA Injury Law is ready to aid you in collecting what you rightly deserve.
