Vandalism

Types of Vandalism

The most common type of property vandalism can occur when tenants are evicted from a commercial or residential property. Property owners enforce their rights to evict, thus upsetting their tenants and leading them to wreak havoc with no regard or respect for the owner or property.

In some cases the tenants completely trash the premises, making holes in the walls, graffiti, smashing appliances and fixtures, and many other damaging things.

This is where a public adjusting team comes in.

We will make sure you have the appropriate coverage and then begin outlining the loss to proceed with an insurance claim.

What Are Vandalism and Theft?

The intentional destruction of property is popularly referred to as vandalism. Some examples include:

– Breaking windows
– Slashing tires
– Spray painting a wall with graffiti
– Destroying a computer system through the use of a computer virus

Vandalism is a malicious act and may reflect personal ill will, although the perpetrators need not know their victim to commit vandalism. The recklessness of the act imputes both intent and malice.

Because the destruction of public and private property poses a threat to society, modern statutes make vandalism a crime. The penalties upon conviction depend on the extent of the damage but include:

– A fine
– Jail sentence
– An order to pay for repairs or replacement

In addition, a person who commits vandalism may be sued in a civil tort action for damages so that the damaged property can be repaired or replaced.

In law, the crime of taking the property or services of another without consent is called theft. Under most statutes, theft encompasses the crimes of larceny, robbery, and burglary. Larceny is the crime of taking and carrying away the goods of another with intent to steal.

The Stellar Public Adjusting team will approach a vandalism and theft situation clearly with the knowledge and expertise to be able to successfully recover what you deserve.

How to Get Started on a Vandalism Insurance Claim

If you believe you are the victim of a malicious attack on your home, including damaged assets in your home, car, or business, the first step is to document everything.

Take photos of valuables, appliances, fixtures, computers, and other items. Remember to check with your insurance company regarding specific items and if a specific rider needs to be purchased to maintain coverage.

A vandalism damage public insurance adjuster advocates for the policyholder in appraising and negotiating an insurance claim. They are the only type of claims adjuster that can legally represent the rights of an insured during an insurance claim process.

What Clients Are Saying About Us

I have full confidence in the team at Stellar and do not recommend that anyone file an insurance claim without them.

The insurance company is not on your side and they are not a good neighbor.

Stellar is on your side and they are in the neighborhood. Call them immediately when damage happens.

Yossi K., Brooklyn, NY

Glad I hired them. Stellar Public Adjusting assisted in my water damage claim in my condo from my neighbors pipe. They really know there stuff when it comes to claims. They obtained way more than my insurance company initially offered. A very professional company.

Nicholas P., Miami Beach, FL

Worked with Stellar on a project involving a kitchen flood. They were always there to help & answer all the questions I had - and they reached a fair settlement with my insurance for me. I probably wouldn't have gotten half of what I did without them! I'd easily recommend them to anyone needing a Public Adjuster.
