Is blood from a homicide dangerous after it dries?

Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and wiping or scraping can release particles. Crews wear protective equipment and use hospital-grade disinfectants to make the area safe.

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.

Do I need to be there during cleanup?

No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
