Don’t Let a Fallen Tree Devastate Your Finances

Having a tree fall on your property can be a traumatic experience. Not only is there the potential for physical harm, but there is also the stress of dealing with insurance claims and contractors. At Viva Trees, we understand how overwhelming this process can be.

That’s why we offer free insurance claim assistance to our customers. This page will answer some of the most common tree removal insurance claims questions. We will also provide tips on how to make the process as smooth as possible.

What is a Tree Service Insurance Claim?

A tree service insurance claim is an agreement between a homeowner and their insurance carrier to cover the costs of removing a fallen tree or its limbs from their property. In most cases, these claims will cover the cost of removal, replacement of lost items, and repair of any damage. The cost of replanting and fixing the property may also be covered in some cases.

It is important to note that insurance claims only cover trees and limbs that have fallen due to storm damage, not those that were removed for aesthetic purposes or due to old age or disease. Homeowners should review their policies carefully to determine their coverage.

Making a claim can be complicated, so it’s essential to know how it works, have all the necessary paperwork ready, and ask a professional tree service for help. Viva Trees can help you through this process and ensure your claim is taken care of quickly. We are here to support you every step of the way.

How To Make the Process as Smooth as Possible

1. The first thing to understand about tree removal insurance claims is that the homeowner may be responsible for some of the costs. Depending on your policy, you may have to pay a deductible before coverage kicks in. It’s important to review your policy carefully to know what coverage you have and what expenses you are responsible for.
2. Next, you need to determine whether the damage was caused by an act of nature (like a windstorm or ice storm) or an act of vandalism. If the tree was damaged due to an act of nature, your insurance company might cover all or part of the removal costs. However, if the damage was caused by vandalism, you will likely be responsible for the entire removal cost.
3. Once you have determined the cause of damage and your coverage, it’s time to contact a tree service company. We work with most insurance carriers at Viva Trees to help our customers file claims and cover costs. We will give you receipts with a list of all the services we did, as well as photos of the damage that you can send in with your claim.
4. Lastly, once the insurance company has approved your claim and paid for the services, we will send you a final bill with a list of everything done. This is an important document to keep in case of any future disputes.
