Common Fire Damage Claim Problems in Hobart
Insurance companies use their own assessors who are incentivised to minimise payouts. Hobart homeowners with fire damage damage regularly receive far less than they're entitled to. ClaimGuard's independent Hobart advocates identify these tactics and fight back.
- Scope limited to visible fire damage — smoke and soot excluded
- Rebuild cost based on depreciated rather than like-for-like value
- Temporary accommodation duration disputed
- Smoke damage to contents and finishes undervalued
- Demolition and disposal costs excluded
