Most policyholders do not have much experience in negotiating with their insurance companies because natural disasters do not occur on a regular basis. Unfortunately, an early mistake in the paperwork can lead to a rejected or undervalued claim, and you could end up losing thousands of dollars! Although your insurance company is required to inform you of all coverages under your policy, they generally do not disclose or explain this information, so you may not be aware of what you are actually entitled to. A public adjuster can review your policy and help you understand your coverage limits.

You should know that insurance companies often ask leading questions and misinterpret your words and actions according to their needs. This practice allows them to reduce the value of the damage you suffer, or even all out, reject your claim. A public adjuster can step in to fight for you.

Often referred to as the “Pride of the Foothills,” the city of Glendora can be found at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains.  Glendora is considered part of Los Angeles County and frequently must call upon LA’s dedicated emergency service providers. This is because Glendora is at high-risk for wildfires due to the Mediterranean climate, hot summers, and autumn Santa Ana winds. One of the most notable fires in the city’s history is the 2015 Cabin Fire, which struck during a heatwave and destroyed over 2,500 acres.  Unfortunately, there have been many additional brush fires since the Cabin Fire occurred, including the Dam Fire. In July of 2020, the Dam Fire spread through the heavy brush and began burning uphill – ultimately consuming more than 200 acres. Although it is impossible to predict when the next wildfire might strike, Glendora residents can prepare for the future by investing in a comprehensive homeowners insurance policy.  If your property has already sustained damage from a natural disaster, call Avner Gat and see how our Glendora public adjusters can assist with your insurance claim.
