We have all heard stories of families returning to their homes after brush fires and finding their homes still standing, while most of their neighbors' homes have burned. While the family whose house is still standing may consider themselves the lucky ones, in many ways they are the least lucky. Smoke damage can destroy a home or significantly reduce its value. Initial offers or estimates of damage by the homeowner’s insurance company or adjuster can fall far short of repairing the damage done to the home.

Los Angeles insurance law attorneys at the Brifman Law Corporation represent homeowners in all types of property damage and fire claims. Our firm provides a free initial consultation to discuss your claim for fire and smoke or other types of property damage.

While an insurance company might offer to wash down your walls and deodorize your home after a fire, the real damage will usually be far more extensive. Smoke is highly acidic and toxic and can damage every part of your home from the wall studs to the wiring. It is usually much easier to tear down the home and rebuild it rather than to do a proper repair. However, insurance companies usually provide lowball estimates and half-way repairs rather than offer to rebuild your home.

If you have sustained significant fire or smoke damage to your home, don't sit back and accept an insurance company’s adjuster's assessment of the damage and the cost of repairs. Take the time to seek an independent assessment. At the Brifman Law Corporation, our lawyers will guide you through the process of getting full policy coverage for fire and smoke damage to your home.
