As Barbados prepares for Hurricane Elsa, if there is damage to your home, hotel, or commercial property, here is a 6 step guide to help make a claim less stressful for you during the recovery process:
-
Once the storm has passed, and the Emergency Services gives the ‘all-clear’, start the process of cleaning up your premises and perform any temporary repairs to make sure your business premises are safe.
-
Maintain an accurate record of the cost of any emergency repairs for submission to your insurance company.
-
If there is damage to equipment and personal items, keep them in a safe place for inspection by the insurance company’s representative. Insurers must be allowed to inspect and agree on the damages before executing any permanent repairs.
-
Take photographs of the property damage.
-
The Tomlin Brokers team is here to assist clients in completing the forms as quickly as possible after the event.
-
Begin making requests to estimate to repair the damaged property.
