Our personal injury lawyers can help you overcome basic problems with hurricane losses, such as the insurance company's decision to treat your losses as uncovered flood damage rather than covered losses under your homeowners policy.
Even if your insurance company accepts coverage of your property losses, there's a good chance you might run into problems with full compensation for:
- Repair and replacement expenses for wind damage to your home, buildings, fences or landscaping
- Personal property replacement under your residential contents claim
- Additional living expenses for periods when you couldn't live in your home
- Water damage caused by the storm rather than by flooding
- Business losses ranging from business interruption to total loss
If an insurance company unreasonably delays or refuses to pay a fair settlement for covered hurricane losses, our experience with complex insurance claims can help you tell the difference between an honest dispute and bad faith tactics on the part of the insurance company.
When the cause of your loss or the correct value of a claim is the main issue in a hurricane damage dispute, our attorneys work with experts from a variety of professions to develop and present the facts necessary to establish your right to payment. These might include engineers, adjusters, meteorologists, construction professionals, appraisers or accountants.
