What Happens During Home Inspections and Appraisals?

Home inspections and appraisals are very important parts to the home-buying process. During a home inspection, professionals inspect the home to find any issues with the property that might not be obvious to the naked eye. Home inspectors conduct a visual inspection of the property.

Typically, the following elements of a home are inspected:

• structure (floors, ceilings, walls, stairs)
• exterior (porches, decks, sliding, etc.)
• roof
• plumbing
• air conditioning and heating
• ventilation
• insulation
• major appliances
• fireplaces
• windows and doors

Depending on what inspectors find, they might recommend additional inspections, which could include inspections for the following:

• Radon
• Termites
• Mold
• Foundation

On the contrary, appraisals consist of more surface-level assessment of the home. The home is evaluated to determine its estimated value. An appraisal essentially protects the buyer from paying more than the actual value of the home. During the appraisal process, an appraiser will come to the home to review the home’s features. Then, the appraiser will create a report. They will also review comparable properties to determine the market value of the home.

Regardless of the specific process, inspectors and appraisers enter the property to complete their jobs. Unfortunately, they can be injured while on the premises.

Potential Incidents

Home inspectors and appraisers alike could potentially suffer some of the following incidents while on the property:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Trip and fall accidents
• Falling object accidents
• Animal attack incidents

These incidents could lead to a number of injuries, some of which could potentially be life-threatening. Regardless of the specific harm that you suffered during a home inspection or appraisal, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible – as you might have grounds to sue.

Your Right to Sue

Were you injured during a home inspection or appraisal? If so, you might have many questions about whether you could take legal action. Some of your questions might include the following:

• What are my rights if I was injured during an inspection?
• Who is responsible for the harm that I suffered?
• Who is liable for the injuries resulting from my accident?
• Can I sue the homeowner?
• Can I file a claim with the homeowners insurance?

If you were injured during home inspection and/or appraisal, you might have the right to file a lawsuit. The homeowner could be responsible for the harm that you sustained, based on the duty of care owed to guests who enter the property. If you can prove that the homeowner knew or should have known about the hazards on the property and failed to warn you, then the homeowner could be liable – and you could sue the homeowner. Of course, if the homeowner is liable, you will have grounds to file a claim with the homeowner’s insurance and possibly recover monetary compensation.

If you would like to learn more about your right to sue the homeowner for an injury that you suffered during a home inspection or home appraisal, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm immediately.

Can I Recover Compensation?

What could you recover? The specific type of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will be strictly based on the details surrounding your claim but could include some of the following:

• Medical expenses

Can I Be Eligible to Receive Workers’ Compensation?

Home inspectors and appraisers typically are employees that work for companies dedicated to inspections and appraisals. If you are injured while performing your job duties, you could be eligible to recover workers compensation benefits. After your accident, it is essential that you report the incident to your employer and file your workers comp claim. If your claim is unfairly denied or if your employer doesn’t carry enough or any workers comp coverage, you might have grounds to file a civil lawsuit against your employer.
