Wind Damage Claims Adjuster MI


While blown-off roofs and broken windows are sure signs of wind damage, the less obvious structural damages to your home or commercial property are most often overlooked, especially by an insurance adjuster who is in a rush to settle your claim.  After a big storm, many insurance companies use large loss adjusters from a national catastrophe team to handle the large influx of claims. These adjusters are in the area for a short while and their primary goal is to close as many claims as possible. The typical mindset is “Get In” & “Get Out”. They want to write you a check quickly and move on. Don’t Settle for Less!

A Wind damage claim is one of many types of claims likely to be undervalued during a quick settlement approach taken by many insurance companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What damage can a windstorm cause to a property?

    Windstorms can damage roofs, shingles, siding, windows, gutters, structures, and other parts of a property, including damage that is not immediately visible.

  • Should I file an insurance claim after wind or tornado damage?

    The decision depends on the extent of damage, your policy, deductible, and other circumstances. A public adjuster can review the loss and coverage before you decide.

  • Can a public adjuster help with a tornado damage claim?

    Yes. A public adjuster can document tornado-related damage, prepare claim information, review coverage, and communicate with the insurance company.

  • What should I do immediately after wind damage?

    Protect the property from further damage when safe, photograph the loss, preserve damaged materials, and document emergency repairs and expenses.

  • Can hidden roof damage be included in a wind damage claim?

    Potentially. Hidden damage should be inspected and documented because the visible roof damage may not represent the full extent of the covered loss.
