Cooking up a family dinner. Lighting candles for a birthday cake. Fire is extremely prevalent in our everyday lives for all types of practical uses. But unfortunately, this same force of nature and can turn into a devastating disaster leading to the loss of a home, vehicle, or life.

Reported by The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) in 2014, 68% of reported structural fires in Florida were residential homes and 28% were automobile-related.
As if it’s not bad enough to deal with the aftermath of a fire in your home or vehicle, some policyholders that file a claim become accused of arso by their own insurance companies. Imagine going through such a terrifying and life-changing experience only to be accused of wrongdoing by the people that were initially supposed to help you? What do you do then?
