Insurance Claims for Pipe Damage and Plumbing Leaks

In life, there are certain things we try to protect; our own lives, our children, our cars, and other valuables. Furthermore, our homes should also make this list since they represent the single biggest purchase we’re ever likely to make. Therefore, it can be devastating to experience plumbing leaks and burst pipes. As well as dealing with the original damage, you might have water damage all around the home from your electrical outputs to furniture.

As long as you have home insurance, you’re entitled to help but many have issues with undervalued compensation and even rejections. If this is the case, you need a professional attorney by your side like our expert service here at The Injury Firm.

Plumbing Damage Causing Plumbing Leaks

In truth, leaks of this kind can be expensive to resolve because the water is likely to damage walls, flooring, furniture, and more. If piping bursts under your flooring, you can imagine the damage to your home.

Since we aren't always home at the time, many come home to find disaster because leaks will only get worse when left. If a pipe were to burst shortly after we leave for work, it has all day to leak; even the smallest leak will equate to many bathtubs of water over the course of a full day. Just imagine the damage if the accident were to happen when on vacation!

Alongside fire, water can be awful for the structure of your home because it causes rotting in wooden floors as well as the risk of mold. Suddenly, you have this spreading around your house and causing harm to all nearby after breathing in the spores. As you can see, plumbing damage is costly and stressful and this is before we even address temporary accommodation and replacing the damaged items in your home.

Pipe Leaks Damage Insurance Claims - Don't Do It Alone

As soon as you experience damage to your plumbing, we highly recommend getting in touch with us at The Injury Firm for a couple of reasons.

• Firstly, the insurance company will not look after your best interests. Ultimately, they have to make a profit at the end of each year which means paying as little compensation as possible. When it comes to the emotional stress of the damage and replacing everything lost, they simply won’t pay attention to it because they’re trying to do what’s right for their own business.

• Secondly, a significant amount of damage can actually be invisible which means you need a professional building company to assess absolutely everything as soon as possible. In the past, many people have settled for a small compensation package only to uncover further damage later in the process. To avoid this, the damage needs to be sorted first so then we can go after the right compensation.

Choosing a Lawyer for Your Pipe Leaks Damage Claim

Moving forward, you need a team of experts who only have one interest in mind; you. While the insurance companies look out for themselves, The Injury Firm will create and build a strong case which gives you the legs you need to stand upon in the eyes of the law. By gathering the evidence and working out exactly what compensation you’re owed, you don’t have to settle for anything less.

Although we can’t repair the damage or take back what has happened, we can help you to take the first steps on the road to recovery. Sadly, families and individuals go into debt every year because their insurance company didn't pay out enough money to rebuild and start again. With The Injury Firm, we can prevent this from becoming an issue.

Just in case you needed any more persuading, we even offer a free consultation. If you choose us, you won’t have to pay anything either because the insurance company should pay all legal fees!
