Proving a Damage Claim Case

In order to prove your case for a claim against property damage or a fire, you’ll need to gather information. The first thing to do is file a report with the police. By doing this, some basic but important information will be recorded for public record, including the date, time and location.

If first responders arrive to a fire or emergency, then they will likely investigate the cause of the fire or damage. If there is a legitimate claim to be made, then this information that first responders and police collect will be important evidence in your case. Make sure you get the contact information from the people in-charge and documenting the incident.

Take note of other details like weather conditions, potential causes, witnesses or any other details you may believe are relevant to the case. Provided you’re at a safe distance, take as many photos as possible.
