One of the most daunting tasks facing a home owner
or small business owner after a fire, flood, tornado, hurricane or other
catastrophe, is the documenting and reporting of possessions and temporary
living expenses. The reporting of each damaged possession's actual value
and the subsequent replacement cost is a huge task. Most insurance companies
want exacting detail of each damaged item along with full replacement information.
This can be a time consuming and frustrating task if you don't have the
right tools. Let Penninga Engineering help you get your life back on track
with DamageControl.

The DamageControl program
was written to assist users in documenting and insurance company reporting
for:
|
|
1) Possessions (Entry):
The Damage Control program allows the user to enter in any order a description
of all items which were damaged beyond repair. The system allows the user
to search and sort entered items by type, category, description, date purchased,
and many other categories. A report can be generated at any time for the
insurance company. Additional items can be entered at any time. Partial
list reports can also be generated. These reports provide the "Actual Cost
Value" or ACV for damaged processions.
|
|
2) Possessions (Replacement):
If the insured party has a "Replacement Cost" insurance policy, the user
will begin to replace damaged items with new items. The DamageControl software
assists the user in finding the damaged items, documenting the replacements,
and building Replacement Cost reports for the insurance company.

3) Living Expenses (Under Development):
If the insured party cannot use the damaged dwelling or office, the insurance
policy may cover temporary facilities and living expenses. Most insurance
companies will require complete documentation of the costs of the living
expenses. The DamageControl software assists the insured party by documenting
and reporting all living expenses.
|
|
4) Claim Status (Under Development):
Settling the insurance claim for damage to possessions, living expenses,
and building repairs can take several months. There will be a constant flow
of reports, receipts, checks, and letters between the insured and the insurance
company. The DamageControl software will assist the insured in documenting
this information flow, cumulating submitted costs, and reporting remaining
policy funds.
