Tennessee Tornado Insurance Claim and Recovery Help

Tennessee Tornado Insurance Claim and Recovery Help

If your home or business was damaged or destroyed in the recent Nashville area tornadoes, we are here to give you reliable guidance during the recovery process.  UP recommends focusing on photographing and documenting damaged and destroyed property, getting a complete current copy of your insurance policy, and finding temporary lodging that is comfortable and safe.

In the months ahead, you will have to deal with lots of paperwork and make important financial decisions.  The word most commonly used to describe people’s mindset after a natural disaster is “overwhelmed.”  While insurance payments can’t bring back your cherished momentos, they are critically important to a successful recovery.  Understanding some basics about the insurance claim process from the start will help you navigate:

Insurance is a vehicle to get you back where you were before your losses, but it won’t drive itself.  You have to drive it or get help if you can’t.
