San Francisco Bay Area, California Water Damage Claims Insurance Dispute Lawyer
The Law Offices of Bruce C.F. McArthur also represents homeowners whose homes have suffered serious water damage. Water damage (like fire damage) is often serious, devastating and costly. Water damage losses can result from any number of situations, including, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- Water line ruptures
- Defective appliances
- Roof leaks
- Sewer back-ups
The damage from these kinds of problems, and the cost of repairs, can both be considerable. Moreover, as with fire damage claims, there may be substantial differences of opinion, between you and your insurer, regarding what repairs are necessary, what the cost of those repairs should be, and what should be paid by your insurer for repairs.
This firm can, as with fire damage claims, assist you in reaching a full and fair settlement of your water damage claim, with your insurer. This office does not address relatively small water leaks with minimal damage, particularly where the amount of damage likely falls within the jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court (under $7500).
Since all fire claims involve some degree of water damage (from firefighting), there is a significant overlap between the kinds of issues that arise on fire damage claims and water damage claims. Fire and water damage claims are generally adjusted in similar fashion by insurers under the property insurance coverages of your homeowner's policy (though there may, of course, be differences in handling and differences in the exclusions or other insurance policy provisions that apply to fire damage claims on one hand, and water damage claims, on the other.)
Many of the same kinds of issues and disputes can arise in connection with water damage claims as with fire damage claims, and in general, the approach by this firm to both kinds of claims is similar. If your home has suffered serious water damage, please therefore review the material on this website pertaining to fire damage claims for a summary of the kinds of services provided by this firm, which are also provided for water damage claims.
