Even with advanced warnings, hurricanes almost always result in some type of damage to your property. To ensure that your insurance claim is processed smoothly and efficiently, it's important to follow these steps:
● Cover damaged property with a tarp to prevent further water intrusion
● Photographic all damage and make an inventory of all damaged items
● File an insurance claim as soon as possible
-
Typically, Florida homeowner's insurance policies cover wind damage but not flooding. This means that your policy will cover the cost of replacing a damaged roof or siding, but not the damage to the interior of your home caused by rising water. There is also a deductible for damage caused by hurricanes, which must be met before the insurer begins paying for any damage. It's important to have a thorough understanding of your policy before filing a claim.
-
Dealing with insurance companies after a hurricane can be difficult and stressful, especially when thousands of people are affected by the same storm, and all submit claims at the same time. This can lead to a delay in processing claims and even an insurer operating in bad faith. Some common tactics used by insurance companies to avoid paying claims include:
● Offering undervalued estimates
● Attempting to settle a claim under another policy
● Telling the homeowner they don't need legal representation to resolve their claim
● Requiring a written release of supplemental claims as a condition of payment or settlement
If you are facing any of these issues or believe your insurer is operating in bad faith, it's important to speak with an experienced insurance claims lawyer who can help protect your interests.
