What To Do After Your Home Has Been Vandalized
1. Promptly report the loss to the police. Don’t touch or move anything until the
police have arrived, performed any investigating or collecting of evidence they
need to do and completed their report.
2. Contact your Public Adjuster to assist if filing a claim with your insurance
company. Most standard homeowner’s insurance policies cover damages caused
by vandalism.
3. Protect property from further damage by arranging for reasonable temporary
repairs as soon as possible. Do not make any permanent repairs until the insurance
adjuster has had a chance to review the damage.
4. Keep an accurate record of all temporary repair expenses so that you can add the
amount to your claim. Also, keep an accurate record of any and all expenses
incurred to be considered for possible reimbursement.
5. Determine the damage to your personal property. Make a written list of what was
damaged. To be as accurate as possible, please include the manufacturer, brand
name and the place and date of purchase.
