Snow Load Damage Claim Case Study

A policyholder submitted separate claims—three months apart—for damage to a detached garage and a front porch roof, believing the weight of ice and snow precipitated both events. To determine the true cause of loss, the adjuster handling the claim sought expert assessments from Donan’s licensed engineers.  

Request the Snow Load Claim Case Study to find out how the engineers navigated assessments for two structures while using reputable snow data research, satellite imagery, and on-site assessments. 

You’ll also learn how the engineer: 

• Analyzed one structure without knowing its full history 
• Evaluated the garage roof loss after repair work had started 
• Distinguished between damage from the claimed event and pre-existing issues on both structures 

Fill out the form, and we’ll deliver the case study straight to your inbox.
