What is “Total Loss” when it comes to fires?
The term total loss is loosely thrown around in the insurance industry and can be very misleading. To the homeowner or property owner who is the victim it means there is no salvage and everything is completely destroyed. From the insurance standpoint it does not guarantee any specific dollar amount or negate the fact that the claim must be demonstrated as to the value of the building and personal property. Nothing is guaranteed and a detailed claim must be prepared and properly presented to assure maximum recovery. A constructive total loss does not even guarantee the policyholder the policy limits and don’t forget about the applicable (negotiable) depreciation.
Did you know there is more than one way to get your insurance company to pay over your policy limit? Well there is but it must be proven. The burden of proof is always on you, the insured.
