About Commercial Insurance Policies

As seasoned residential claim experts, we specialize in demystifying policies to empower commercial property owners facing commercial property damage. Whether it’s navigating the intricacies of a commercial property claim or comprehending the nuances of coverage for specific perils, we’re your property insurance claim experts. 

Here are some key terms to know about your commercial property insurance policy.

Actual Cash Value (ACV): The current market value of the property, factoring in depreciation.

Business Interruption Insurance: Provides coverage for lost income and additional expenses incurred when a covered event disrupts normal business operations.

Coinsurance: A provision requiring the policyholder to carry insurance equal to a specified percentage of the property’s value to receive full compensation for a loss.

Deductible: The amount the policyholder must pay out of pocket before the insurance coverage kicks in.

Exclusions: Specific perils or circumstances not covered by the insurance policy

Named Perils vs. All-Risk Policy: Named perils policies specify the covered risks, while all-risk policies cover any perils not explicitly excluded.

Peril: A specific risk or cause of loss covered by the insurance policy, such as fire, theft, or natural disasters.

Replacement Cost: The amount needed to replace or repair damaged property without deducting for depreciation.

Assessment

The first step in the commercial claims process with a public adjuster is to assess the damage and determine the extent of the loss. This involves a thorough examination of the property, documentation of the damages, and assessment of the cost of repairs. The public adjuster will work with the property owner to gather all necessary information, such as receipts and invoices, to support the insurance claim

Preparation and Submission of the Claim

Once the assessment is complete, the public adjuster will prepare and submit the insurance claim on behalf of the property owner. This involves a detailed explanation of the damages, the cost of repairs, and any supporting documentation. The public adjuster will negotiate with the insurance company to ensure that the property owner receives the maximum compensation for their loss.

Monitoring and Settlement

The final step in the commercial claims process is to monitor and settle the claim. The public adjuster will work with the insurance company to monitor the progress of the claim and ensure that it is settled in a timely manner. They will negotiate with the insurance company to resolve any disputes and ensure that the property owner receives a fair and just settlement. Throughout this process, the public adjuster will keep the property owner informed and updated on the status of their claim.
