Does Insurance Cover Self-Inflicted Gunshot Clean Up?

Facing the death of a loved one from a self-inflicted gunshot suicide is difficult enough without dealing with insurance for cleaning up the affected areas. Whether you have coverage or not (consult your adjuster to make certain), it’s important to clean any blood or bodily fluids to remove the threat of potential bloodborne pathogens from your home. This task can be dangerous and it taxing, so it is recommended that you hire a professional company to take that burden off of you. Aftermath can help disinfect your home after this tragedy with or without insurance.

Cleaning Up Self-Inflicted Gunshot Suicides

The suicide site and surrounding areas can have blood stains and bodily fluids, which can carry potential diseases and bloodborne pathogens and can put you at risk. Disinfecting these areas is critical to your health, and Aftermath can make it simple to do so. While many people have coverage for crime scene and trauma cleaning through their homeowners insurance policy, you should contact your insurance adjuster to determine if your policy covers self-inflicted gunshot cleanup services.

At Aftermath, we provide options for people with or without coverage to assist in covering the costs for our service. Factors that affect pricing can include:

The number of affected rooms
The amount of structural damage
The length of time the victim was left unattended
Additional complications (e.g. hoarding, machinery, large amounts of personal property)

If you have insurance, we can work directly with your provider. Our standard practices include documenting the scene with before and after photos, which we submit to your insurance provider along with the bill. All you will be responsible for is paying the deductible.

If you don’t have insurance coverage, you still have options. We have payment options and can help with third-party sources to assist your payment, including:

Victims compensation assistance
Discount programs
Payment plans
Aftermath financial assistance, if eligible

The specialists at Aftermath are prepared to handle even the most complex cleanup jobs. Backed by nearly 20 years of research and experience, we specialize in controlling, sanitizing and disinfecting, and removing biohazardous material from your home.

"The Pasadena Aftermath team did an outstanding job. Not only are they a remarkable team, they are also exceptional individuals. Over the course of the week that they were here, we got to know and trust them. They handled this unthinkable situation with grace, compassion, and the utmost respect for the victims. Words will never be able to truly capture the appreciation we have for them. When our world felt like it was hit with a tsunami, your team threw us a life preserver and told us that we will be okay again.The world needs more “Kevins”, “Jamies”, and “Hassens”, who will help lift the burden off of strangers who are facing their darkest days."

"Sterling and Aurelia did much more than clean the scene. They were patient, kind, and very compassionate. They took good care of the property as if it was there own. Sterling and Aurelia communicated with us every step of the way. Their presence alone did much to contribute to the healing process. On top of all that, they did a fantastic job cleaning the house. To be honest, we hated to see them leave. Our family thank them both to the highest degree!!"
