Fire & Smoke Damage

Fires happen suddenly and violently; along with destruction, they create complicated insurance situations. Your insurance company will investigate any motives for arson, but they will also determine whether damages constitute a total or partial loss and how significant smoke damage is in case of partial loss. All of this can lead to disputes and delays. When you are shell-shocked after a fire has damaged or destroyed your property, The Law Office of David Yon can help. Our job is to make sure you file a thorough claim that adheres to the conditions of your policy and that the insurance company fulfills its promises so that you can repair or rebuild.
