Insurance Claim After Fire Damage
Hello,
Our home was damaged by a neighboring fire yesterday. We have water damage, smoke damage and a lot of damage from the Fire Department having to break and enter into our house (no one was home at the time).
This is our first experience dealing with an insurance claim. Should we use an Insurance Adjuster or deal directly with our company? (we are with AllState). Also, there is a company called RestorationSOS that comes out in the aftermath of a fire and does damage assessment and decontamination. They say they bill the insurance company directly. Anyone with any experience of this?
Any advice on how to go through this process and best practices greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Condo Building Insurance
Hi all, for those on a condo board, how did you assess how much insurance your building needed (not the individual units)? I'm trying to figure out if a site visit is the norm or if there is another way for the board to know that the building is adequately insured.
If you have companies you like please share.
This is for a small condo building (4 units) if that makes a difference.
Thanks!
