Bridgewater Property Damage Lawyers

In Bridgewater, and all of Nova Scotia, property damage law can include claims for a number of different situations, as property damage can occur from a number of sources. From natural disasters, such as severe storms or a fallen tree causing damage to your home, car, or large pieces of land; to damage as a result of fire, flood, or other acts.

Any of these situations can result in costly repairs to your home or vehicle, as well as possible costs from being displaced from your residence. These damages may have started minor, but could end up resulting in steep financial losses.

What Does Property Damage Law Include?

In Canada, property damage law covers cases of accidental (natural disaster), as well as intentional damage done by another party. Actions such as trespassing, negligence, or mischief can result in costly repairs to your home.

Whether it be working alongside you to ensure your insurance company pays the funds you are entitled to, or championing alongside you in a criminal case, our experienced lawyers are ready to work with you.

Damage has Occurred to your Property

If damage has occurred to your property, it is important that your insurance company is made aware as soon as possible. By starting your claim early, and partnering with an experienced property damage lawyer, you’re more likely to receive the compensations you deserve.

Mischief or Intentional Damage

Mischief can include the intentional damage or interference with someone’s property or possessions. This may include acts such as destruction, vandalism or graffiti. Intentional damage or negligent damages are either deliberate or through carelessness, and may result in you being able to sue for compensation.

Natural Disaster

Typical examples of natural disasters that may result in property damage include fires, flooding, or extreme weather events and storms.

As insurance companies will require proof of damages, thorough documentation is key to your success. Once damages occur, be sure to start gathering information as quickly as possible. Note things like the date, time, and location, as a police report will require these basic details.

Filing a Police Report

If damage has occurred to the property, a police report can be made. This report may help support your insurance claim, and will include important details. Be sure to take note of relevant information surrounding the damage.

Details like weather conditions and reports, or even potential causes and witnesses. The more details you are able to provide both law enforcement, and an experienced lawyer, the stronger your case will be. If possible, be sure to take photos and videos of the damage, as well as the surrounding area.

In instances where first responders, such as firefighters, have reported to the scene, an investigation will likely take place to determine the cause of damages.

Compensation for Property Damage

You may be entitled to compensation from your insurance company, depending on the extent and financial value of the damage done to your property. Our experienced property damage team is ready to ensure that your insurance company pays you what you are owed.

Punitive Damages

If you believe that your property was damaged intentionally, and there is evidence of criminal or malicious intent, a police report may be filed and punitive damages may be applicable. In cases where evidence proves that the guilty party intended to cause injury to you through these actions, our experienced team at NOVA Injury Law may be able to aid you in collecting punitive damages.
