Where Are You in the Claims Process?
Tell us what happened. There is no cost to find out if we can help maximize your claim or force the insurance company to reconsider your claim.
I Have an Active Claim
Will the offered insurance payout cover your actual losses? Before you agree to anything, get a second opinion on whether the offered payout is fair.
My Claim Was Delayed or Denied
A denial is not the final word. Your insurer may have acted in bad faith or offered an unreasonably low payout. We can help you fight back.
I Have Not Filed a Claim
Between losing your property and belongings, complicated insurance paperwork, an insurer motivated to pay you as little as possible, and rebuilding, it is easy for this to fall through the cracks. It is not too late to find out what you are owed by your insurer.
Washington law gives insurance companies clear deadlines saying they must acknowledge your claim within 10 business days and accept or deny it within 15 business days of receiving your proof of loss. If they are delayed, they are required to explain why in writing every 30 days.
After an event as large as the Spokane fires, claim volume routinely pushes insurers past these windows. That does not mean you are out of options. It often means it is exactly the right time to have someone on your side.
Determining the true value of a loss caused by a major fire can be complicated. Damage is not always immediately visible. Smoke affects areas beyond the burning fire itself. Your insurer is motivated to pay you as little as possible, and their estimate may not truly reflect your actual loss. Your insurer has professionals looking at the claim, so you should too.
