Insurance companies serve the purpose of paying claims for damage that is caused in the form of property damage and personal injuries. When industrial fires cause property damage or injuries, insurance is especially important as such damage can be extremely costly for business owners who rely on the industrial property to operate their businesses. If equipment, materials, and other items are damaged in an industrial fire, the business cannot function until fire damage is handled. A business owner’s insurance policy should pay qualifying claims, but unfortunately, many insurance companies deny or underpay claims, taking advantage of policyholders.
Getting an insurance company to pay a claim under the terms of an insurance policy in Mississippi can be a tough undertaking that lawyers often must handle to help policyholders obtain the compensation they need to repair fire damage and replace equipment where needed. In the event any person sustains physical injuries in an industrial fire, an insurance policy should cover the costs associated with those personal injuries.
Finding the Cause of an Industrial Fire is Crucial to Prompt Insurance Payments
Industrial fires have many causes and when insurance companies have room to place blame on “other” causes, they are less likely to pay claims they should be or if they do pay claim, they do not pay a sufficient amount of compensation. Business owners should consider working with lawyers to help identify the cause or causes of an industrial fire, some of which include the following:
- Electrical fires;
- Environmental causes (wildfires, high winds, dry weather conditions, and lightning);
- Ignition or explosion of flammable materials;
- Fires that begin in adjacent properties; and
- Arson.
A lawyer can help identify what documentation and evidence will help to get an industrial insurance claim paid in Mississippi, but timing is crucial. Policyholders who are having trouble obtaining prompt payment from their insurance carriers should seek the help of a lawyer right away.
