Vandalism Insurance Claims

Public Adjusters can assist with numerous types of vandalism claims, including:
  • Copper Wire Theft
  • Window Breakage

  • Arson
  • Destruction of Property

Property Loss Due To Vandalism

Vandalism is usually much worse than a few eggs or cans of paint sprayed on your walls. The emotional and personal attack felt by vandalism victims can be extremely draining. Vandalism can also cause a great deal of consequential damage such as broken pipes causing flooding and small fires damaging entire homes and businesses, including adjacent businesses. Theft of copper from commercial buildings is rampant in every city and can cause hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in damage.

Unfortunately, insurance companies are known to use tricks and tactics to wrongfully deny your vandalism claim or pay out much less than what you are owed. Your insurance company may even open an investigation regarding the vandalism, which will allow them to look for anything they can to use against you to wrongfully deny your claim. Having Velocity Public Insurance Adjusters on your side and representing your best interest will assure you a fair settlement for what you are owed. We can handle all of your vandalism damage claim needs.

What is vandalism? Is it covered by my insurance?

Vandalism is defined as the intentional damage to property owned by someone other than the perpetrator, simply for the sake of causing damage.

Comprehensive insurance policies automatically include coverage for vandalism or malicious acts. It is one of the most common property crimes. Malicious mischief is similar, though the damage may not have been intended.

Vandalism and malicious insurance is insurance coverage that protects against property losses sustained as a result of vandals. This coverage is included in most commercial and homeowner policies and is an important insurance component for properties that are not occupied during known periods of the day, such as churches and schools because vandals know that there is less of a chance of being caught. However, vandalism losses are not covered on dwellings or buildings that have been vacant for more than a certain number of days as outlined in the policy; losses perpetrated by any policy's named insureds are also not covered.
Due to the risk and frequency of loss, this coverage typically carries a higher deductible for properties that are known to be unoccupied for certain times of day, including churches, schools, and for lease or sale commercial properties. Vandalism and malicious mischief can be written as an endorsement to a standard policy, such as the standard fire policy, in the event that the policy requires a separate endorsement for this type of coverage.
