Understanding Vandalism Claims
Vandalism claims can be complicated. Damage may range from broken windows and graffiti to significant destruction of property. Filing a claim for these damages requires thorough documentation and a clear understanding of your insurance policy’s coverage. Insurance companies may challenge the extent of the damage or argue that certain losses are not covered, but that’s where we step in.
