2. Review and save security camera footage.
You’ll want to save all the security footage of the incident. Subscription plans like Arlo Secure feature 30-day Cloud Storage, allowing you to access, share, and save event recordings from anywhere. These videos will be especially helpful when filing a claim with your insurance company.
3. Call a professional tree removal service.
A removal service company will help you remove the fallen tree and unblock your driveway. A professional tree removal service also knows all important info on state licenses for tree removal, so you won’t have to worry about any permits.
When calling, be sure to share details like the size of the tree, the angle it fell, and the cause and extent of the damage. Get a written quote for the cost of removal for your records.
4. File a claim to your insurance company.
Call a home insurance company as soon as possible to determine insurance coverage. Clearly describe the situation, itemize any damaged belongings, and specify the cause. Share all relevant photos and Arlo video footage as evidence of the damage. Also, keep in mind that a deductible payment may be required.
Consider getting a second opinion. This will be especially helpful if the tree falls on (or originated from) your neighbor’s property. Compare the quote you receive with your neighbor’s insurance coverage and how it compares to standard homeowners insurance. Additionally, research your state-regulated property guidelines to determine responsibility.
