Insurance Disputes

Property owners in Washington and Oregon typically carry insurance in the event of a natural disaster or similar event that may cause damage to their homes and valuables. Although thinking about such unlikely events may feel unimportant, many homeowners feel more secure knowing that they can recover compensation in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Should a flood or fire damage your property, you can file a first-party insurance claim with your insurance company to receive monetary compensation to cover the repair costs of the resulting property damage.
