Hurricane Public Adjuster Atlanta GA
Hurricane damage, whether to your home or business, is difficult and time consuming. There are a few key issues to address to ensure your insurance claim is handled promptly, and in a fair manner. These steps could also help you if you are filing an insurance claim lawsuit in the face of low-balled, delayed or denied claims.
Document everything
Taking photos or making videos of the damage is crucial. Today's meteorology gives us ample time to prepare when confronted with a hurricane. Before the storm hits, shoot a quick video of what the home looks like. Include as much as time allows. After the storm, video or take photo's of everything, starting with the outside of the house, front to back, making sure to include all four sides, and any other buildings on the property, such as a shed or garage. Try to get as much of the roof that you can in every shot. Take wide shots of the yard and then zoom in closer for more detail. Move to the inside of the house and go room by room, first video the entire room, and then move on to individual items contained in that room. Make an inventory of damaged property while doing all this.
Cover up damaged property
If your property sustained any hurricane damage, cover it up with a tarp or similar protective water-resistant material, to prevent further damage from the elements. If you do not make an effort to prevent further damage, your insurer can deny your claim. Make sure to save everything, having physical proof of your damaged property.
Keep a claims diary
Keeping a detailed log of phone calls and visitors is as important as other documents, and down the road can help you avoid lots of headaches. Don't rely on your memory at this stressful time. Document with date and time who you talked to and what was said. The more information you have at hand, the better your recollection of events will be.
File your claim promptly
Don't wait too long to file your insurance claim. Insurance companies often require policy holders to file within a certain amount of time. When filing your claim, make sure to include videos, photo's and any other documentation to help prove your claim.

A little history on Atlanta GA
Atlanta is the capital of, and the most populous city in, the U.S. state of Georgia. With an estimated 2017 population of 486,290, it is also the 38th most-populous city in the United States. The city serves as the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, home to 5.8 million people and the ninth-largest metropolitan area in the nation.Atlanta is the seat of Fulton County, the most populous county in Georgia. A small portion of the city extends eastward into neighboring DeKalb County.
Atlanta was originally founded as the terminating stop of a major state-sponsored railroad. With rapid expansion, however, it soon became the convergence point between multiple railroads, spurring its rapid growth. The city's name derives from that of the Western and Atlantic Railroad's local depot, signifying the town's growing reputation as a transportation hub. During the American Civil War, the city was almost entirely burned to the ground in General William T. Sherman's famous March to the Sea. However, the city rose from its ashes and quickly became a national center of commerce and the unofficial capital of the "New South". During the 1950s and 1960s, Atlanta became a major organizing center of the civil rights movement, with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph David Abernathy, and many other locals playing major roles in the movement's leadership.During the modern era, Atlanta has attained international prominence as a major air transportation hub, with Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport being the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic since 1998.
