Where Are You in the Claims Process?
Tell us what happened. There’s no cost to find out if we may be able to help.
I Have an Active Claim
Is the payout you’re being offered going to cover what you actually lost? Before you sign anything, get a free second opinion.
My Claim Was Delayed or Denied
A denial is not the final word. If your insurer missed its deadlines or lowballed your payout, we can help you push back.
I Haven’t Filed a Claim
Between displacement, insurance paperwork, and rebuilding, it’s easy for this to fall through the cracks. It’s not too late to find out what you’re entitled to.
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’re delayed, they’re 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 doesn’t mean you’re out of options. It often means it’s exactly the right time to have someone on your side.
After a major fire, determining the true cost of a loss can be complicated.
Damage can extend past what is immediately visible. Smoke can affect areas beyond the fire itself. Personal belongings need to be accounted for. And the insurance company’s estimate may not reflect everything covered under your policy.
Your insurer has professionals looking at the claim.
You can have professionals looking out for you, too.
