Homicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in La Junta, CO
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 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.
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.
Is the family expected to clean the scene?
No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.
What does homicide cleaning include?
It includes blood cleanup, removal of soaked carpet, padding and drywall, disinfection, handling of debris and residue, and odor removal. Crews also sort personal property and document the work.
Who cleans up murder scenes?
Specialized homicide cleaners do. Police and investigators gather evidence and then leave. After the scene is released, the owner, family or estate can book a homicide cleanup crew to remove the hazards.
