Steps to Take After a Fire

4
Consult an
Attorney
Seeking legal guidance early helps protect your rights and ensures you meet deadlines that could affect your claim.

Focus on your health
Experiencing a fire is devastating, and the days following are critical to your recovery. First and foremost, prioritize your health and safety. Seek medical attention for any injuries, even those that seem minor, as smoke inhalation or burns can have delayed effects. Emotional support is equally important—reach out to loved ones or professional counselors to address the trauma of the event. Taking care of your physical and mental well-being is the foundation for navigating the road ahead.

Find temporary housing
Once you are safe, focus on securing temporary housing. Relief organizations like the Red Cross or FEMA can provide immediate shelter and essentials, while your insurance policy may offer Additional Living Expenses (ALE) coverage to reimburse costs for housing, food, and other necessities. Be sure to keep receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses. As soon as it is safe, begin documenting damage to your property by taking photos and creating a detailed inventory of lost items. This evidence will be crucial when filing your insurance claim.

Review insurance policy
Understanding and maximizing your insurance benefits is key to rebuilding your life. Request a complete copy of your policy to review coverage for property damage, personal belongings, and ALE. File your claim promptly, provide detailed documentation, and stay proactive in following up with your insurer. Be cautious of low settlement offers, as they may not fully cover your losses. If disputes arise or your claim is undervalued, consulting an experienced attorney can make a significant difference in securing the compensation you deserve.
