As a rule, denied La Habra claims are more often than not reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. In practice, a La Habra adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. We see it on La Habra roofs every week. We work alongside the adjuster on La Habra claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter.
