In order to compensate for the damage from the fire and restore the premises, you must apply to the court with a statement of claim. In addition to this basic statement, you will need another document confirming and specifically describing the losses. For its compilation, the first step is the examination of the premises. It is carried out with the help of specialists who play the role of independent experts.
Such a procedure is carried out in the following cases:
- if the damage from the fire was caused by unauthorized persons, namely: tenants, neighbors and so on;
- if the damage from the fire appeared through your fault, and the injured party requires compensation in an amount that exceeds the measure;
- examination is also necessary to create a counterclaim ;
- for other non-standard reasons.
Often accidents occur due to unintentional actions, exposure to natural factors, and so on. Fire is one of the most dangerous and devastating incidents that can affect residential property. An assessment of damage from uncontrolled fire should be carried out immediately, because this increases the likelihood that the court will take the side of the victim and recover damages. According to statistics, in almost a hundred percent of cases you can get compensation without problems and forget about this incident as a terrible dream.
Specialists in appraisal companies are always trying to assess the damage from the fire and draw up the necessary documents in such a way as to protect the rights of the injured party in fairness. Turning to professionals in their field after such an incident, you need to provide them with some certificates. Only with the assertion that the victim is indeed the owner of the dwelling, will the fire damage be analyzed. So, the following documents will be needed:
- housing and communal services act, as well as DEZ;
- defective statement ;
- title deed;
- floor plan with attached explication;
- copy of financial account;
- copy of the passport of the person who is the owner of the premises.
This list may be modified and supplemented depending on the situation. Most often, more specific information about the necessary documents can be obtained from the specialists themselves after the first inspection of the affected property.
Of course, evaluating the damage from the fire in accordance with all the rules with the help of independent experts, you will need to pay for the work of specialists in accordance with the expended time and effort. However, almost always the evaluation process does not take more than a week from the date of conclusion of the contract.
When such an unpleasant incident as a fire occurs, it must be borne in mind that a restless psychological state can interfere with receiving timely compensation. If you spend time on difficult emotional experiences, the guilty party may evade responsibility, and the situation will worsen. Thus, you need to try to keep your mind, act carefully and decisively in order to quickly restore not only housing, but also justice.
