House Fires in the U.S.

House fires happen all too often. In 2020, there were 379,500 fires in residential buildings in the United States[1]; that’s more than 1,039 fires per day. Collectively, they caused more than $8.7 billion of property loss[2]. The leading cause of home fires is cooking, which triggered 49% of home fires between 2015-2019[3]. Another leading cause was electrical wiring malfunctions, which ignited about 10% of all home fires[4]. Of all the leading fire causes, electrical fires are responsible for the greatest amount of property damage[5].  Smoking is a third leading cause of home fires. In 2014, smoking materials caused approximately 17,200 home fires, resulting in $426 million in property damage[6].

Smoke Damage

Even if fire doesn’t destroy a home, the smoke from it can. A fire may be confined to a small portion of the house, but its smoke can seep throughout the structure, rendering it temporarily uninhabitable. Smoke is a combination of soot and grease. Not only is it unsightly, but it causes a strong lingering odor and can trigger lung problems, skin problems, headaches, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Smoke remediation must be completed by a licensed and qualified remediation company.

Moving On from a House Fire

The first step after a house fire is to contact Get Paid For Your Claim. We will come to your home to inspect the damage firsthand and develop a detailed list and budget of all the items that need to be remediated or replaced. We will then file a claim with your insurance company. When your insurance company sends their adjuster, we will participate in the walk-through with them to ensure that they note the full extent of the damage. When the insurance company makes a settlement offer, we will persistently negotiate until we secure the maximum amount possible for your damages. You have been through enough already; let Get Paid For Your Claim handle the hassle of dealing with the insurance company for you.

Insurance companies have their own team of experts and insurance adjusters to advocate on their behalf.  At Get Paid For Your Claim, weadvocate for you.  As a licensed and bonded Public Adjuster, we help insurance policyholders who have been forced to use insurance to make a claim.
