You can hope that the day never comes, but when it does your insurance provider needs to be accountable for paying your claim in a complete and timely manner.

Property Damage Claims

In Canada, property damage claims can arise from both accidental events and intentional or malicious acts. The claims may include property damage caused by natural disasters, such as fires, floods, or extreme weather. They can also involve damage resulting from negligent or deliberate actions, including trespassing or vandalism. In cases where there is severe or intentional property damage, criminal charges may be pursued.

Damage to Your Property

Once you’ve identified property damage, and ensure that the area is safe, start by collecting evidence of the area as you’ve found it. Be sure to take photos of the damage, surrounding area, and possible causes. If applicable, seek out witnesses to the incident who may be able to strengthen your claim.

By starting a claim with your insurance provider early, you will be able to provide them with the information they require in a timely manner. Be sure to provide as many details as possible, citing the date and time, location of the damage, and weather conditions. The more information you’re able to provide, the stronger your claim will be.

Once you’ve collected as much information as possible, and started your claim through your insurance provider, be sure to reach out to an experienced property damage legal team, like the one at NOVA Injury Law. In instances of property damage through deliberate action or recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation through small claims legal court.

Damages

Property damage law cases can include damages caused by both natural disasters, and through intentional or mischievous damages. Examples include:

Natural disasters such as fires, flooding, or extreme weather events;
Intentional or mischievous damages such as vandalism or graffiti.

Filing a Claim

If a significant amount of damage has occurred to your property, first responders such as police or firefighters may be required to attend the scene. In situations where emergency services are on scene, an investigation into the event is typical. An investigation report can help strengthen a claim against your insurance provider.

When you’ve found damage, be sure to collect details like the date and time, weather conditions, possible causes, and even potential witnesses. If safe to do so, be sure to take photographs of the damage and all surrounding areas. The more details you’re able to provide first responders, and an experienced property damage lawyer, the stronger your insurance claim will be.

Collecting Compensation

In legal claims relating to property damage, compensation is usually achieved as a result of successful payment collection from your insurance provider. Claim payments may range in dollar value, and are dependent on the extent and cause of damages. An experienced legal team, like the one at NOVA Injury Law, will ensure you receive a fair claim payment for your case.

Punitive Damages

In situations where evidence is found that criminal or malicious intent resulted in damages to your property, you may be entitled to punitive damages for your claim. Our team at NOVA Injury Law will help guide you to collect what you deserve, so you can focus on moving forward.
