In these troubled economic times a home is a precious commodity. Protecting that investment has never been more important for homeowners and property owners. When Mother Nature or good old fashion bad luck cause damage to a property, homeowners turn to their insurers to help them restore their property. Insurers, meanwhile, are as equally interested in enhancing their bottom lines as homeowners are in protecting their investment. When these interests collide, the claim game begins and the fight to protect your home and get what is owed you becomes a high stakes game of chance. Without the right guidance, without knowing the Rules of the Game--rules written by and for the insurers--you could find yourself on the losing end. The Claim Game levels the playing field between homeowners and insurers by giving homeowners the knowledge and tools needed to empower themselves so that they can get every penny owed them and claim victory. Discover the secrets to homeowner insurance settlement with the only step-by-step guide to property insurance claims written by an insurance insider. Exposing little-known methods that enable you to expedite your claim and get every penny owed you, The Claim Game is your comprehensive resource for homeowners insurance and property damage claims. The Claim Game will teach you how to: - Settle claims quickly and fairly. - Reduce or eliminate your deductible. - Decipher a policy so it makes sense. - Discover hidden coverages that protect you and save money. - Organize claim information to expedite your claim. - Get a denied claim covered. - Understand an estimate from a contractor or an insurer. - Select the right contractor to repair your home or property. Also included: - Claim-specific guidance for many types of losses including hurricane, tornado, earthquake, hail, fire and many others. - An in-depth exploration of the most common issues and concerns homeowners encounter. Don't let what you DON'T know cost you!

Disrepair (or more properly "housing conditions") claims are on the rise. This book should be helpful to those receiving and responding to them. Such claims increased by 44% between 2012 and 2017 in England and Wales and they have continued to proliferate. In those five years Southwark LBC paid out about £10,000,000 in damages and costs. Sheffield City Council has disclosed that it has spent more than £1 million fighting disrepair claims within the last 2 1/2 years. There has been a 322% increase in cases, which they blame on claims management companies using "aggressive marketing tactics" to attract tenants who are unhappy about the state of their homes during the pandemic. That has been greatly exacerbated by the inability on the part of all landlords to do repairs other than urgent works. Housing conditions claims are not just wasteful in terms of officer time and finances. They can be very stressful for those involved, particularly where landlords face large numbers of claims and their staff are already busy planning and carrying out repairs, maintenance and improvements. I anticipate that all landlords would prefer to direct their resources to repairs rather than legal fees. The book is more about the strategies needed to deal with disrepair litigation rather than the substantive law. If you are a tenant's representative, I hope that the book will help you to weed out good claims from the many which are at present gratuitously and unnecessarily issued. Fortunately, the Court of Appeal has just handed down a very helpful decision on an application for permission to appeal. In Hockett v Bristol City Council (2021) unreported, Ref: B2/2021/1025, Lord Justice Bean agreed with the approach which I conceived a number of years ago, and which has been approved of by many judges in the County Court. I hope that the application of that philosophy to disrepair claims will dramatically reduce the legal bills currently being paid by social landlords. Many of the complaints which tenants are making about housing conditions should never have involved lawyers. You'll need to buy the book to find out more about it though! The book also addresses how to respond to a disrepair claim in the event that ADR is not appropriate or fails to appease the tenant.
