Should I claim water damage from my own insurance company or do I file it against the other guy’s insurance company? I have already filed an official complaint with the unit owner’s association. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	Pierce Guest

Ask the homeowner’s association to file the claim against their insurance company(which will be a slow process) or you can just as well file it against the insurance company of the guy living upstairs. Filing it with your own insurance company will only result in raising your premium (or at least flag you as a potentially higher risk).

I have handled many claims like this where I have been retained by people like you and also from attorneys that need the facts of a case to go after the neighbor or association. From my experience I can tell you that going after the neighbor and/or association can often times take a lot of work and patience on your part, this is not always the case but more times than not I have seen these cases drag on for months while they are being disputed. That being said, if you file it with your insurance they will not pay for ALL of the damages as your association is going to be responsible for some of them but they should pay for Paint, Texture, Flooring, Cabinetry, Etc...and then they will proceed to attempt to get reimbursed by the responsible parties insurance company. _________________ Greg Roover Claim Concepts, Inc. 800-801-2099 www.ClaimConcepts.com	ClaimConcepts New member Joined: 10 Mar 2012 Posts: 38 Location: Jupiter, FL 6.38 Dollars($)
