Why Your Vandalism Claim Is an Uphill Battle

Insurance companies treat vandalism claims with high scrutiny, looking for reasons to reduce your vandalism insurance coverage or deny claims.

Their tactics are predictable. They may say that graffiti damage to your property is merely cosmetic and doesn’t affect structural integrity or claim that fixtures can be repaired instead of replaced, potentially cutting reimbursement by 60% or more. They may cite inadequate security — missing locks, broken lighting and lack of surveillance — shifting liability from the insurer. They could lowball contents damage, often offering pennies on the dollar.

The risk of a vandalism claim being denied is real. Once denied, recovery becomes exponentially harder, and the insurance company’s initial assessment becomes the baseline for future negotiations. Early action matters. The first 48 hours determine your settlement outcome. As a property owner, your best bet for lowering your risk of being vandalized in the future is to hire expert representation immediately.

Level the Playing Field With a Vandalism Public Adjuster

Your insurance company’s adjuster works for the insurer, not you. Their job is to protect their employer’s bottom line.

We assess every dollar of damage, from obvious destruction to hidden issues adjusters miss. Our professionals photograph damage from multiple angles and document repair costs from licensed contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vandalism is intentional damage done for the sake of damaging property, whereas malicious mischief's damage may not have been intentional.

In certain cases, property theft will be considered vandalism, but not always. Check with your insurance provider to determine whether you are covered for theft under your policy.

If your business had to close or otherwise had its operations interrupted by the vandalism, you may be eligible for business interruption. Check out our Business Interruption page for more information.

No, a tenant causing damage to their apartment is not considered vandalism because they are not a stranger to the home. These laws vary in some states, so check with your insurance provider to make sure.

Insurance providers require a certain level of "protective safeguards" to ensure that you're taking measures to protect your home or business during elongated periods of vacancy. Talk to your insurance providers about those measures to ensure that they are met, otherwise you may not be covered.
