Repairing Your Property During an Insurance Dispute
In accordance with your homeowner’s insurance policy, part of the duty of the Insured is to allow for inspection of the damaged property by the carrier. If the insured undergoes a repair without notifying the carrier, then the carrier may later claim that they cannot inspect the damage to the property because it has already been repaired. The carrier may claim it has been prejudiced in its ability to fully inspect the damage to your property.
