Disclaimer

General information only

Everything on this site is general information. It is written to help people understand what usually happens after a death, an injury or a crime, and how cleanup is arranged. It can't take account of your particular circumstances.

Not legal, medical or insurance advice

Nothing here is legal advice, medical advice or advice about an insurance policy or claim. Insurance cover differs from policy to policy, and only your insurer can say what yours provides. For legal questions speak to an attorney licensed in North Carolina.

Health and safety

Blood and other body fluids can carry disease. Suggestions on this site about staying out of a room or leaving items in place are precautions, not instructions for doing cleanup yourself. If someone is in danger, call 911. If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline can be reached by calling or texting 988.

Facts and sources

Agency names, phone numbers and program rules were checked against official sources when each page was written, and links to those sources are given in the text. They can change without notice. Before relying on one, confirm it with the agency.

Independent companies

This site is a free service to assist homeowners in connecting with local service contractors. All contractors are independent and this site does not warrant or guarantee any work performed. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to verify that the hired contractor furnishes the necessary license and insurance required for the work being performed. All persons depicted in a photo or video are actors or models and not contractors listed on this site.

No results promised

This site makes no promise about any company's price, timing or results, or about whether an insurer or a public program will pay any part of a bill.
