Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) after an Incident
When can I contact TuriuŽalą.lt about the property damage claims process?
You can register a claim as soon as you receive the claim number from your insurance company.
Does insurance cover damage if my neighbor damages my property?
Yes, compensation may be possible, but it depends on the type of insurance used. If you have home insurance, compensation will be paid only if the damaged object (e.g., a fence) is listed in the insured property. If the damage was caused by a vehicle, losses may also be covered under the responsible party’s liability insurance (in such cases, depreciation of materials is applied). We recommend documenting the incident with photos as soon as possible and informing your insurance company.
What if cracks appear in windows or walls due to building movement?
After a professional assessment, insurance may cover the repair costs if such structural damage is included in your policy.
Does insurance cover damage if a wall cabinet or shelf falls in my home?
Yes, provided such incidents are included in your insurance terms.
How quickly should I notify my insurer after an incident?
Ideally within 1–2 days of the event.
Do I need a police report to receive insurance compensation for an incident?
If the incident involves third parties, a police report may be useful. Your insurance company will advise you if it’s required.
How should I document the damage to speed up insurance compensation?
Take photos or videos of the damage, carefully record the affected items, their value, and the circumstances of the incident. This information helps the insurer process your claim faster.
Will insurance cover damage if a pipe or radiator bursts in my home?
Yes, most property insurance policies cover water damage caused by plumbing system failures (if included in your policy).
What if a power surge damages my home appliances or electronics?
If a power surge damages household or electronic devices, notify your insurer. Many insurance policies cover such losses if you have additional protection against electrical risks and fluctuations.
What should I do if someone else’s pet damages my property?
First, document the incident and inform the pet’s owner. Insurance may cover such damage if it’s included in your policy.
Will I be compensated if vandals damage my property?
Most property insurance policies cover vandalism. In such cases, notify both the police and your insurer immediately to ensure the incident is properly documented.
