Explosions—whether caused by gas leaks, appliance failures, chemical reactions, or nearby industrial activity—can result in extensive damage to both your home’s structure and its contents. While most standard homeowners and commercial policies do list explosions as a named peril, the real challenge comes after the blast: determining the cause, proving it, and navigating the complex web of involved parties.
Insurers may try to delay or deny coverage by pointing to external causes or shared liability. At the same time, fire departments, utility providers, and other investigators may be slow to release reports or quick to shift blame. This leads to confusion, stalled claims, and frustrated property owners caught in the middle. Without clear, independent documentation, even a clearly covered loss can become bogged down in finger-pointing and technicalities.
At Loti, we act quickly and decisively. Our team documents the damage, preserves key evidence, and works to connect the event directly to your policy's coverage—ensuring your claim doesn’t get stuck waiting for third-party reports or unclear liability disputes.
