Why are so many people confused about the deductible.The deductible is the portion of the claim that the insured is responsible for. The insured doesn't pay it per se, it comes off the top of the settlement of the claim. The insured does not write a separate check to the insurance company for the deductible amount.
100% They should come out and inspect. The roof does not get old overnight!
Go Girl! So exciting to see another woman in the industry!
What do you do?
It is helpful to access this information about what happened after filing a claim. We are tenants and first-time claimants. This is the first residence for which we've needed to obtain renter's insurance. This material has been really helpful in preparing us for what is ahead, despite the fact that we're in Canada. The floodwaters also caused damage to our buildings. Once more, I appreciate this video so much.
Please make sure that the h.o. that you are working with know that there is no need for a PA. To settle a claim ( Licensed and educated contractors + quality adjusters is how life gets back to normal )
Plus top Lawyers.
Dude was working over time to maintain eye contact.
She has made this process actually interesting, and not intimidating. Great job demystifying the process! She will do great at her career!
She had my full attention from the get go.
You should do a video where you and an insurance lawyer go through a new policy and tell the consumer what the terms actually mean, because i believe they use alot of words that the average person cant understand especially the exclusions
Great idea
Very true. This is why I offer to do free policy reviews with consumers before the report a claim
Lawyer Britt thats excellent
@@LawyerBritt I need a lawyer like yourself in Georgia, like ASAP
I’ve been through 2 hurricanes both did damage to my roof! My house was listed for sale 4 months prior to hurricane Michael and also Hurricane Sally a couple of years later. I was given the runaround by PHH Mortgage Services, and wound up paying to have part of my roof repaired, and I’ve gone through the same scenario with PHH again with Hurricane Sally. There’s more I won’t go into here!
I live in Panama City Beach, and would love to talk to you about seeing what can be done about it.
I believe when interviewing your contractor make sure everything he says is also written down. If they are not willing to write it they won't honor anything they say later.
It should be itemized too.
Thanks so much for your time ! I learned a lot !
Vlad, thank you and Brittany for another great and informative video. These videos are awesome. Keep up the great work.
Lol, stop calling me that
Haha--glad you liked it
Great video guys, you guys should expose the dirtiest tricks. Insurance companies have been around for over 100 years guys.
40:33 about "Public Adjusters". Super-interesting, never thought they existed! I'll be looking into this, THANK YOU for talking about it. I am learning SO MUCH invaluable info from your video! I wish you were both in Burbank!!!
thank you for putting this up. I am going through this now. tree fell on my roof. my insurance company says it's going to cost 2k to fix, my contractor is saying it's 22k to fix. these insurance companies are frauds. stressful long and annoying process. dealing with an adjuster who is a total beyatch. good to know I am not the only one going through this. may have to go through this process soon. any good lawyers in Georgia?
I thought I made this comment myself. I am dealing with THE SAME thing! It has been a horrible experience with State Farm.
Yes. Why didn't you clear your house away from trees initially? Which is less expensive?
Sorry for your loss.
Great info as always!
What an outstanding podcast full of great content. Britt is definitely not a boring attorney selling herself congratulations
Exelent video guys. Our company has been talking about putting out content to educate homeowners. You guys have hit on a few topics we are planning on discussing.
That is awesome!
Outstanding, information is important. Great video... Bob
Thank you Bob

Oddly, for a roofing contractor, the questions were generally not about roofing, but on the legal process. There are many types and styles of roofs, and one would think roofers would be more interested in how to prove the need for replacement vs repairs on various types of roofs. e.G. 3 tab, spanish tile, metal, solar incorporated into roof, etc.
WOW!!! ❤🙏❤ excellent, helpful, educational video, 💯 top notch. Are there clones of you in the LA area?
Question for either. My hot water tank burst in my home spilled.out atleast 60 GA. Of water. I had homeowners special HO3 coverage. My claim was denied saying the water came from a sump pump 20 ft.from the house water filled up the crawl space flooded the home. Sgt of Police dept turned the water off. 2 yrs ins com agreed Sat on AG desk 16mos passing filling. Attny wants $9,000 to take on case why we didn't do that in time frame. My home is unliveable I have no where to go do I have option. I Been fighting since 2019. Nothing.
Great info!
Something about this video reminds me of the countryside... hills and valleys and so on.
Great video keep up of all insurance denial homes . How about video against the commissioner insurances which are on the companies insurance and not the customer.
Can you explain direction to pay
Great Interview
What's insurance commission do when you have proven fraud on a denied claim?
My ins company is holding up releasing money on rehab of 6 family. Gave some money on claim but contractor is upset and walking off. Need a NY contact. Thank you
She's a pretty attorney
Hey Vlad I'm now a new subscriber. Great video with Brittany. I have a question for her. My mom had a claim filed ..the insurance company sent out a specialist to inspect the possible mold detection. They didn't detect any. But we had a roof job done and found out there was mold. My mom's whole room had to be redone. The total Cost like 12k out of her pocket. Any chance we could discuss this further? My mom is a Florida resident.
Thank you. And for your great videos.
Absolutely!!! Contact Brittney she might be able to help or public adjuster. We recommend bulldog public adjuster (watch today’s video with them). Good luck!
"best thing to do is talk to an attorney and have them review your policy" so.... pay an attorney to tell me that pretty much every single home owners policy out there right now is going to screw you over when the shit hits the fan. Got it!
I have a question!! I live in Florida, and am still in litigation against insurance company over roof damage from IRMA. They denied claim due to late filing. I didn’t know I had roof damage until 24 months after Irma when my ac guy was in attic and told me I had damage and should have roof inspected immediately! NOW, Ivan is coming and since I’m in litigation already, (arbitration set for next Friday in fact) how will this affect me and my coverage IF I incur additional damages from this new hurricane??? Plz help!
Any silver bullet to inflict a resolution with against those insurance companies that abuse the system and therefore expose home owners to the elements that they are supposed to be protected from in the first place?. Is it natural for the legal system to accept a company not to come to an agreement with the owner for years and years?
Here we are in Florida paying very high premiums for decades and then one company decides to stand against an owner for the mere reason to stretch the payment that the owner is entitled to. Shameful on one hand and disgraceful on the other. These fights makes all to be more expensive for everyone because the insurance companies dont’t loose. The legal system needs to be changed somehow
Lawyer Brit incorrect 8:45 on direct to pay
As not falling into the same category of instruments as aob
per fl statutes
aob is 627.7152 definition ANY instrument which post loss benefits under residential property insurance policy is a assigned or transferred
627.0625(1) assigned transferred or acquired in any manner to accompany promising repairs,restore,replace remediation,mitigate agyfurther damage to the property
pls see
Documented case dca 4 th court kidwell grp vs upc
I live in Houston Texas, I am having the same issues, I was denied, then they changed their minds and paid part of the actual cost of replacing my roof,, what can I do to collect the rest of the cost that I've already paid.
How about fl contractors that sue bc you won’t sign aob
My Question to Britt is while handling homeowners claims has she ever seen or heard of an Insurance Company totaling a home then depreciate the payout by 50% without documentation as to why or how they came to that figure? Also documentation for rebuilding the hold entire house was only 18 pages.
depreciation like the tooth fairy.....
Can u advice me please cause my house ceiling has collapsed about a month ago and my insurance denied my claim thanks?
Should the insured hire PA before hiring the lawyer? Or have the lawyer hire the PA?
Just come across this today and have subscribed.
I'm having problems with my insurance company who are repudiating the claim on the ground of a water ring. We had a shower leak in 2018 which was properly fixed by Feb that year. Last year Nov 2021 there was a leak from the same shower but from under the tray (pipe leaking) whereas before it was in the wall. They're saying previous leak wasn't resolved properly but that was 3 and a half years ago. Also they are saying leak was in 2019 but all my records show early 2018. The damage is quite extensive now and will cost ten's of thousands.
I don't know what to do, can anyone help please.
Recommended Public Adjusters in the LA area?🙏
Dang Vlad this is great content! Brittany, how much do you charge to review a policy? What should we expect to pay an atty for an insurance dispute as a retainer or just seek out one that will do it on contingency to have fees paid by the insurance ?
Vlad 😂😂😂 Brittany will answer shortly, thanks for question!
Great question! I do NOT charge the insured to represent them in an insurance claim dispute. There is a law in Florida that says if you sue your insurance company and you win, the company pays your attorneys’ fees. When I sue an insurance company for a Florida insured, I charge the company for my fees. My clients never come out of pocket and never owe me fees. The laws may be a bit different in other states.
I do not charge for policy review. If you have a question about a Florida property insurance claim or policy, you can email me at ba@premproplaw.com.
@@LawyerBritt. If the homeowner loses, they should have to pay the legal fees of the insurance company…
@@tonyowens6802 this is possible through Proposal for Settlement/ Offer of Judgment. But the homeowner would have to lose at trial or MSJ, and insurance companies don’t often go to trial on these cases because of the risk.
@@LawyerBritt You are a very rare breed. Not many lawyers left that do this. Unfortunately, in our State you have to prove bad faith to get costs suing the insurance company.
Dealing with insurance claims?Don’t miss listening to this video!
It is true that just a call to your insurance is considered a claim, and if you have 3 claims they can cancel your insurance??
I bought a house that the owner stayed it he had a new roof put on yes he did but he felled to say it was a roof on a roof on a roof we have 2 leaks and its rooting out 2 beams and my kitchen ceiling is ruined the insurance company will not pay they say it not catastrophic damage so my house has to fall down for them to fix my roof so what cane a disabled person to do
Roofers Rock
I wish I had Brittany when this mess started after Hurricane Michael. I've fired 2 Adjusters and hired this Orlando Adjuster that has not worked on my case, trying to scam me for money and signing a release. I have refused. I'm working with Rebuild Florida in helping me get a replaced home. It's wise for us to educate ourselves on home ownership and what it entails. Same goes with our health, and any other choices we make for our lives.
35:55 you mention the "waving of deductibles" by contractors and you losing your jobs to that. I'm still not sure I understand this concept. Are you saying that some contractors "promise" the homeowner to NOT charge them for the deductible??? 🧐It does sound crazy, had no idea that was a "thing". How can a reliable, professional contractor afford to essentially "not be paid" for their work? Where is the catch? I imagine they will "promise first" and "do a shitty job later". 🙄
It would have been helpful for you to ask her the difference legally between the appraisal process vs the arbitration process. They are two different processes......and nowdays the insurance companies have steered away from arbitration in favor of appraisal. Should have asked her why.......the legal differences for the consumer/contractor.
You can reach out to Brittney and ask her and make a video about it! Can’t ask everything in one interview. UA-cam is free, you already have phone and energy, go for it!
@@RoofingInsights3.0 I already know that answer......but most of your viewers and consumers watching do not.
sue the previous insurance company if you purchased a house with existing hail damage
We need your need your assistance
Such a pretty woman!
Any intelligent comment from you mine freund??
Explain car towings by cops, and these salvage 179, bs claims on cars over 6,000 lbs.
Will you be my lawyer? I live in Texas
Sup Britt
Is lobbying an American word for corruption?
I assume it was rhetorical question? Thanks for asking 😂
She is so gorgeous....!!!
What is an email address I can reach out to Britt at?
Thanks, is she going to send us all a consultant bill? Chuckle (Great pro Bono on both ends). When there is a war against greed, guess who is holding the "nukes". Hint: it's not the Pope.
Women- demystifying the BS!!!! Go Girl!
I think her blouse is totally inapropriate, unprofessional
Your comment is more inappropriate
@@RoofingInsights3.0 LOL someone commented she is pretty good looking and said to come meet her after a conference. Like she is on here to meet men.
Ruthless lawyers and dishonest roofers are part of the problem why insurance rates are out of hand .
agree
Shes pretty good looking sign me up 🤣
Come meet her after conference 😂😂😂 roofconference.com
Soooo easy,,,,,,crap house,,,crook realtor/town/inspector,,,,buy,,,,,file claim promptly,,,,get paid fixed sue
The woman's infuriating "vocal fry'! Keep her away from us!
All insurance are the same, is all about profits. They can care less about the insured. The government is in with them but they say they work for the people, I'm like yeah right. Who needs Putin when we have worse ones right here! Great video by the way hopefully utuv won't demonetized it for telling the truth!
I liked the video but with the amount of ads put into this video it was harder to concentrate on what you both were saying so as a result I don’t think I would watch another video of yours anymore. I could have recommended it if it didn’t have SO MANY absurd and stupid ads injected into it!
