Insurance Litigation Group (ILG), a statewide insurance litigation law firm with two offices in the Panhandle, is offering a Help Center Hotline for Bay County residents who may have experienced wildfire or smoke damage to their homes right now, after more than 1,000 homes were evacuated due to the Adkins Avenue, Bertha Swamp Road and Star Avenue Fires.
ILG Help Center Hotline: (850) 963-8277
ILG’s trained staff is also available to meet with residents by appointment at its Miramar Beach office located at 495 Grand Blvd., Suite 206 and offers no-charge home inspections.
Based on the size of these fires, many residents will need smoke damage inspections in the coming months and not know where to start,” said ILG’s Director of Field Operations, Marat Filler. “Getting started early is crucial to ensure you protect your property and seek the necessary help from your insurance company.”
ILG’s Help Center Hotline will offer free support and guidance to homeowners on how to deal with fire damage restoration issues including:
- · Proper protocols for securing your property
- · Helping you understand what needs to be done to make your home or business safe to occupy again
- · Submitting residential or commercial fire and smoke damage insurance claims, and next steps
- · Getting fairly compensated for your fire and smoke damage
- · Hiring contractors to treat and repair smoke and water damage
- · Getting your home or business repaired and/or rebuilt, if necessary
Fire damage doesn’t stop once the fire is extinguished. Smoke damage can last days, weeks, or even months after the initial disaster. Destruction can include:
- · Visible damage: Smoke and water damage to walls, floors, furniture, ceilings, fixtures, etc.
- · Hidden damage: Structural, HVAC, smoke, soot, chemical, and electrical.
