Art Loss Insurance Claims Attorney Miami, Broward, Palm Beach

When Do You Need to Hire an Art Loss Insurance Claims Attorney?

The first way is to rely on your homeowner’s insurance policy to cover the value of the artwork. However, this can get tricky because standard homeowner’s insurance policies have a coverage limit for personal possession claims, such as art loss. The typical max limit that a homeowner’s insurance carrier will pay for an art loss claim is around $1,500 total.

If you have artwork worth more than $1,500, you can either raise the liability limit on your homeowner’s insurance policy or purchase a floater policy. A floater policy is more expensive, but it gives you more coverage for valuable possessions such as artwork. But you need to have an official appraisal certificate that states the artwork’s value. That will make it easier to file an art loss insurance claim and seek the total value of the artwork if it has been damaged or stolen.

Of course, it’s not always possible to put an actual certified value on your artwork, especially if it’s your own artwork or from some unknown artist. That will make it more difficult for insurance companies to approve your art loss insurance claim. For this reason, you need to hire an art loss insurance claims attorney to help you seek the most compensation possible for your missing or damaged artwork.

FAQs

How do art loss insurance claims work?

Art loss insurance claims are slightly different than traditional homeowner’s insurance claims. Even though you may file a homeowner’s insurance claim with your carrier, you will have to mention the valuable items which were damaged or stolen.

So when you tell the insurance adjuster that your artwork was damaged or stolen, they may take your word on it if the value is a few hundred dollars or some small number like that. But if you tell them your artwork is worth many thousands of dollars, they will want to see proof. And even then, they’ll likely give you a hard time about it.

For this reason, you should hire our art loss insurance lawyers before filing a claim. Then we can manage the claim from the beginning and negotiate with your insurance company before they can undervalue or deny the claim. Once your insurance company learns that you have professional legal representation, they will be more willing to settle on a fair amount.
