Hello,
My garage was pretty well destroyed by an arson fire. I had mutplie bicycles and parts new and used in the garage as mountain biking is my main hobby. Not trusting that a disaster restoration company would know what they were looking at as many of the destoyed items were specialized and unique, I have gone through and photographed and itemized all of the items that I was able to find. I have also done multiple trips to the local dump getting rid of items after I have documented them. My question is......how do I go about making sure that I get fairly compensated for my time spent in this process? Is there a industry standard hourly rate for this type of work? I have a rough idea of how much ti e I have spent and have made some notes as to when and where....but I know it is far from totally exact. Due I submit an invoice to the insurance company?
please help
thank you
