How soon should I call LA Consulting after my property is damaged?
LA CONSULTING
Original Content
You should call LA Consulting as soon as possible after your property is damaged. Early involvement ensures that every detail of your loss is documented, hidden damage is identified, and your rights are protected from the start. Waiting too long gives insurers the chance to set the narrative, which may result in lower settlements or overlooked coverage. By contacting us immediately, you put experts on your side who know how to build a strong claim from day one.
Why immediate action matters
Property damage can worsen quickly, and evidence can disappear. Water intrusion spreads, mold grows, storm damage escalates, and temporary repairs can erase proof that insurers need to see. By calling LA Consulting right away, our team conducts a thorough inspection before anything is lost. This allows us to create an accurate record of your damages and prevent the insurer from minimizing your losses.
Before filing or responding to your insurer
It is best to reach out to LA Consulting before filing your claim or before accepting any settlement offer. Insurers often move quickly to send their own adjusters, whose goal is to limit payout amounts. Having us involved early allows us to prepare your claim with full documentation and negotiate from a position of strength.
This step often results in higher and faster settlements for our clients.
If you already filed a claim
Even if you have already filed a claim, it is not too late to involve us. As long as you have not signed a final release from your insurer, LA Consulting can step in, review your claim, and push for additional compensation. We frequently uncover overlooked damages, underpriced repair estimates, and missing categories of coverage.
Many clients come to us after initial offers and still see significant increases in their settlements.
Examples from past clients
For example, a homeowner accepted an initial $15,000 offer for hurricane damage. After LA Consulting became involved, the claim was reopened and settled at over $70,000. Another case involved water damage where the insurer�s estimate was under $10,000. With our documentation, the final settlement exceeded $40,000.
These cases show the difference early and expert involvement can make.
The bottom line
You should call LA Consulting immediately after property damage occurs. The sooner we are involved, the better we can preserve evidence, document your losses, and build leverage with the insurer. Even if you have already started the claims process, our team can often increase your payout as long as your claim has not been fully and finally released. Quick action is the key to maximum recovery.
