If you keep up with current events at all, then you know about the massive damages and evacuations that are occurring in Hawaii due to erupting volcanoes. The eruption has destroyed about two dozen homes in the Leilani Estates subdivision on the Big Island. On Monday, another fissure spewing lava and toxic gas opened up, and a crack in the earth that emerged a day earlier was sending molten rock crawling toward the ocean, officials said. Nearly 20 fissures have opened since the Kilauea volcano started erupting 12 days ago, and officials warn it may soon blow its top with a massive steam eruption that would shoot boulders and ash miles into the sky.
Noble Public Adjusting Group is blogging about this today because we see how important it is that our readers understand all the variables when it comes to volcanoes and insurance. Since a standard insurance policy does not cover volcanoes, the people of Hawaii will instantly assume that their insurance policy will not cover the damages they receive. But the truth is, by using a public adjuster to handle filing your insurance claim in Hawaii, you have opened the door to the possibility of winning a settlement, in spite of the lack of volcano insurance.
Hawaii Volcanoes: How a Public Adjuster Can Get Insurance to Pay
An important distinction of a homeowner insurance policy is that is DOES cover fire damage, and that is one of Noble’s main specialties, fire loss. The current volcano eruptions in Hawaii are causing fires everywhere, so if you have lost your home or commercial property due to a fire directly caused by the erupting volcanoes, you do have a valid insurance claim.
It may sound absurd, but this statement from an article at Yahoo Finance states that “As odd as it might sound, the best case scenario of a worst case situation for affected homeowners is for the lava to burn the house down. That could trigger the fire coverage of a normal home owner’s policy.”
However, that is not the only way you can actually get your Hawaii homeowner insurance policy to pay out for damages received indirectly from volcanic lava. Don’t assume that your insurance won’t pay. Noble Public Adjusting Group knows the ins and outs of insurance like the back of our hands. You need a public adjuster to sift through the murk of your insurance policy to discover hidden gold. For instance, there is an ordinance of law endorsement and other specialized endorsements in your insurance policy that you may not be aware of. Another thing residence in Hawaii may not know is that Noble can get your insurance company to pay for debris removal.
