Missed our recent webinar, After the Storm: Exposing and Defending Inflated Estimates in First-Party Claims? Our team shared practical strategies for identifying red flags, evaluating competing estimates, and maintaining a thorough, good-faith claims investigation after major storm events.

Here are some key takeaways:

✔️ Watch for red flags such as late reporting and immediate contractor/public adjuster involvement.

✔️ Focus on the scope of damage—not just the estimate amount.

✔️ Continue handling claims in good faith, even when estimates seem inflated.

✔️ Strong documentation remains your best defense.

✔️ Hurricane claims often require closer review of causation, mitigation efforts, and repair demands.

Bottom Line: Ask questions, document your investigation, and make sure the claimed repairs match the actual damage.
