How and why you need to assess the damage from a fire

To compensate for the damage from the fire and restore the premises, it is necessary to apply to the court with a statement of claim. In addition to this basic statement, one more document is needed, confirming and specifically describing the losses. To make it up, the examination of the premises is carried out first. It is carried out with the help of specialists who perform the role of independent experts.

This procedure is carried out in the following cases:

• If the damage from the fire was caused by unauthorized persons, namely: tenants of housing, neighbors and so on;
• If the damage from the fire has occurred through your fault, and the affected party requires compensation in an amount that exceeds the measure;
• Also expertise is needed to create a counterclaim ;
• For other non-standard reasons.

Often accidents occur due to unintentional actions, natural factors and so on. Fire is one of the most dangerous and destructive incidents, from which residential real estate can suffer. Estimation of damage from uncontrolled fire must be carried out immediately, because this increases the likelihood that the court will take the side of the victim and reimburse the losses. According to statistics, in almost a hundred percent of cases you can get compensation without problems and forget about this incident as a terrible dream.

Experts in valuation companies always try to assess the damage from the fire and compile the necessary documents in such a way as to protect the rights of the injured party in fairness. Turning to the professionals of their business after such an incident, you need to provide them with some IDs. Only with the statement that the victim is really the owner of the living quarters, the damage from the fire will be analyzed. So, you need the following documents:

• The act of housing and communal services, as well as the DEC;
• Defective list ;
• Document on the right to property;
• The plan of the room with the attached explication;
• A copy of the financial account;
• A copy of the passport of the person who owns the dwelling.

This list can be modified and supplemented depending on the situation. More often more specific information on the necessary documents can be obtained from the experts themselves after the first inspection of the affected property.

Of course, assessing the damage from a fire by all rules with the help of independent experts, you will need to pay for the work of specialists in accordance with the expended forces and time. However, almost always the evaluation process does not take more than a week from the date of the contract.

When such an unpleasant incident as a fire occurs, one should keep in mind that a restless psychological state can prevent timely compensation. If you spend time on heavy emotional experiences, the guilty party can escape responsibility, and the situation will worsen. Thus, it is necessary to try to keep the mind, to act carefully and resolutely to restore not only housing, but also justice.
