How Can Gilbert McWherter Scott Bobbitt PLC Assist You with Your Contents Claim?

By Clint Scott | December 9, 2016

McWherter Scott & Bobbitt can help an insured or policyholder when an issue arises on contents coverage, whether that issues arises before a lawsuit’s filed or after a lawsuit’s filed. And the way we can assist is helping gather the information, getting in touch with and hiring the proper people to assist in sifting the debris in a fire loss, meeting with the insured to go over the different things that they had in their house, help prepare the list of inventory; and then secondly, age that inventory to the best of the insured’s ability; and then finally, to value that property, so that the claim can be paid promptly and fully.

When you sustain a loss because of a fire, or a flood, or a windstorm ­– or for any reason – and that loss is covered by your insurance policy, you can put in a claim for damages with your insurance company. A contents claim is one wherein you request damages for the contents of your home: your furniture, your pictures, your clothing, etc.

It’s also a claim that can lead to some back-and-forth between you and your insurer. We routinely represent Tennessee policyholders who have been told that they misrepresented the worth of, or the damage to, their belongings. That is why it is so important to seek the counsel of experienced Tennessee insurance dispute attorney if you sustain a loss. We work with industry experts to value your items and to categorize your losses, so that you make a strong claim for compensation. If the insurer still denies your claim, or tries to offer you less than what you are owed, we can protect your rights in court.

McWherter Scott & Bobbitt has assisted thousands of policyholders throughout Tennessee who have been denied damages, or have been victims of bad faith actions. We invite you to call 731-664-1340 or to fill out this contact form to schedule your consultation with a skilled Tennessee insurance dispute lawyer.
