Summer is coming to an end and kids are ready to return to school. This is an exciting time for parents and children alike. There are many families that have been displaced due to fire and water losses throughout our state. We at Michigan Fire Claims Inc. would like to wish all our clients with students a safe and happy school year knowing the difficulty they have of relocating or waiting for their lives to get back to normal due to these tragedies.

Fire estimates are a valuble tool in determing broad evidence on homes that are total loss. Insurance companies generally pay actual cash value on homes and buisnesses when insureds do not want to rebuid and that generally means market value. The State of Michigan allows the use of fire estimates on a broad evidence rule to determine actual cash value. A soundly written fire estimate will insure a greater settlement on broad evidence and will also give an insured more money to work with if they have a loss in which there is an interest to repair.

Most insureds do not realize that one of the most important documents in filing a property claim is a Sworn Statement in Proof of Loss. Most policies require that a Proof of Loss be filed within sixty days of a loss or within sixty days of being requested by the insurance company on fire and water claims. Failure to file may mean denial of your claim. You should read your policy to make sure. This stipulation is generally found in the section “Duties to the Insured”

It is very difficult being a Detroit sports fan. Having seasons tickets to the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Redwings, Detroit Lions and Detroit Pistons has its perks, but it is very difficult to enjoy the games when these teams struggle. The Detroit Tigers started the first half of the season on a tear and now are struggling with a mounting lossing streak and injuries. I wish them well and hope they change things around soon. I can only expect the Detroit Lions to follow in the same path they have been for fifty years, and can see the Detroit Pistons rebuilding. The only bright spot are the Detroit Redwings and we can count on them competing for years to come.
