Be sure to document before you repair
As we assist clients recovering from Hurricane Helene and prepare for the impact of Hurricane Milton, it’s crucial to stress the importance of mitigation. While protecting your property from further damage is vital, it’s equally important that you document everything thoroughly before making repairs.
Take detailed photos, videos and notes
Temporary repairs can prevent worsening damage, but improperly handling damaged property without documenting it first can lead to disputes or denied claims. This is why we encourage capturing detailed evidence — photos, videos, and notes — before starting any repairs; this will help preserve your rights.
