The first complete, non-technical guide to insurance claims, written for homeowners, by an experienced, unbiased claims adjuster. Policyholders no longer have to rely on their insurance company for vital information about their policy or the claims process; it is all explained here, in plain language that anyone can understand. The claims process is described in detail from beginning to end, with emphasis on settling the claim quickly & fairly, & avoiding disputes. The homeowners policy is explained at length, & a complete standard policy is included in the appendix. A 200-word dictionary explains all the common insurance terms used in a claim. Several commonly-used blank forms are included, to aid the homeowner in completing their own claim calculations. A chapter on Building Contractors explains how to find, hire, & use a contractor, & to avoid the many problems that can arise (such as liens on your house!). Government aid programs are explained, including tax breaks for homeowners from the IRS. Order from Claim Publishing, 1219 Columbus Avenue, #109, Glendale, CA 91202 (818) 241-4314.
