Legal assistance in case of property damage: file a lawsuit, receive compensation, protect your rights
Property damage can occur unexpectedly — due to an accident, arson, vandalism, water leakage, or the actions of unscrupulous neighbors. In such situations, it is important not only to repair the damage, but also to receive fair compensation for the damage caused. The Consultant team will help you initiate legal action against the guilty parties or insurance companies that refuse to compensate for the damage.
Filing a property damage lawsuit: what you need to know
A property damage lawsuit is a legal process through which the injured party can seek compensation for material damages. We help you:
- Identify the guilty party.
- Gather evidence.
- Assess the amount of damage.
- File a lawsuit or negotiate with the perpetrator/insurance company.
Key point: even if the perpetrator does not admit guilt, you are entitled to legal protection.
Compensation for damaged property: how compensation is calculated
The amount of compensation depends on the nature and extent of the damage. The main factors taken into account are:
- The cost of repairing or replacing the damaged property.
- Lost income due to the property being unusable (e.g., business interruption).
- Emotional damage (in exceptional cases).
Typical cases subject to compensation
- Damage to a car as a result of a traffic accident.
- Damage to residential or commercial property.
- Fire, flooding, electrical short circuit.
- Destruction of property due to the actions of third parties (vandalism, theft).
Legal action against insurance companies: how to make them pay
In many cases, after property damage, people turn to insurance companies. However, insurance companies often:
- Refuse to pay without grounds.
- Delay the review process.
- Offer an insufficient amount of compensation.
How does the legal assistance service work in cases of property damage?

- Gathering evidence — photos, videos, expert assessments, testimonies.
- Preparing a lawsuit — drafting legal documents.
- Negotiations — pre-trial settlement with the guilty party or insurer.

Important to remember
The statute of limitations for filing a claim for property damage is up to 3 years in most cases. You can file a claim even if the property was damaged by a tenant or an unknown person. Even with partial compensation from the insurance company, you are entitled to additional compensation.
Legal cases involving property damage require a clear understanding of the law, accurate recording of damages, and competent case management. Our team at Consultant is ready to protect your interests at every stage — from consultation to receiving full compensation. Don't wait — contact us today to protect your property and your rights.
