With the arrival of winter also comes the inevitable coming of winter storms as well. In addition to snow and ice, winter storms are also notorious for downing many trees in residential areas that can cause damage that must be paid for somehow.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, damages that occur on one’’s property because of a fallen tree are covered in most cases by a home insurance plan.
However, the situation can become prickly when it comes to which insurance plan must cover damage from a fallen tree that is rooted on one property but falls into another. While the general lay of the law dictates that the location of the fallen tree is irrelevant and that the damage victim should simply file a claim with their own company, such filings may be called into dispute.
In some cases, the institute noted that insurance companies may launch a subrogation process in which they attempt to collect money from the neighbor’’s insurance provider.
"This sometimes occurs if the tree was in poor health or not properly maintained. If the insurer is successful, you may be reimbursed for the deductible," Salvatore explained.
However, such a process is irrelevant for families who leave themselves vulnerable to significant expenses if they have not maintained homeowners” insurance policies to protect their home. If gathering a payment to maintain a policy proves to be difficult, taking out a payday loan may be able to alleviate a one-time financial shortage to keep a plan active.
