Types of Fire Damage Covered by Insurance
Fire damage can result from various sources, and it’s essential to know what your insurance policy covers. Most insurance providers include cover for fire damage caused by:
Electrical faults:
As previously mentioned, electric fires are a leading cause of household and commercial fires. Faulty wiring, malfunctioning appliances, and electrical overloads can all contribute to devastating fires.
Accidental fires:
These are fires that occur unintentionally, such as kitchen fires or a candle being knocked over. Your insurance policy should cover these incidents.
Natural causes:
In rare cases, fires can be caused by natural disasters such as lightning strikes. While less common, your fire insurance claim can include damage caused by these unpredictable events.
Tip To Remember...
It’s important to read through the terms and conditions of your policy or consult with our team to confirm what is included in your coverage. If your claim is denied or underpaid, we can appeal the decision and provide further evidence to support your claim.
Fire Damage Insurance Claims: What Documents Will You Need?
To ensure a smooth claims process, having the right documentation is essential. When filing a fire damage claim, you will likely need the following:
Fire report:
This will be provided by the fire brigade and is crucial in proving the cause and extent of the fire.
Proof of ownership and value:
You may need to provide receipts or other evidence of the value of the damaged items.
Photographs of the damage:
Detailed images of all affected areas should be submitted.
Estimates for repairs:
Having a detailed breakdown of repair costs from contractors will help substantiate your claim.
