Huntington Murder Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
What paperwork is needed for the claim?
Expect to supply a bill or receipt, itemized costs and an insurance declaration page or a statement of no insurance. Ask the cleanup crew what paperwork you get. There is no fee to apply, and no lawyer is required.
Who cleans up after a homicide?
Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.
What happens to belongings and keepsakes?
Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to go. The team tells you what it finds, so you decide what matters.
Does the Texas program pay if I clean it myself?
A person who cleans alone can be reimbursed for supplies. Hiring a company may allow the company's service costs to be reimbursed. Either way, keep every receipt. Only the Texas Attorney General can decide a claim.
What does the Texas program pay for?
It covers professional cleaning services and supplies, biohazard removal and hazardous waste disposal fees, within the limit. Structural repairs, restoration and replacing stolen property are not covered. Businesses and organizations cannot apply.
What should I tell the insurance company?
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
