Jason Hartman invites attorney Galen Hair to the Creating Wealth Show today to discuss how to make sure you are getting the most out of your insurance claim. How do you know if you should even hire an attorney to assist with your claim? A study from the Insurance Research Council revealed that on average, people who hire attorneys are likely to see a settlement three and a half times higher than people who don't hire attorneys.
What are some of the things your homeowner’s insurance policy might cover that you don't even know about and would never think to make a claim for? What should owner occupant homeowners and rental property investors know? What other additional coverage should you consider adding on to your policy that is not included, but would be available for a small fee?
