What Do I Do After the Storm?

Here in Florida, we are always dealing with hurricane threats. During storm season (usually August through November), it seems there is a tropical storm out there in the Gulf every week or two with its eye on the Sunshine State. If your home is damaged by a major storm, keep in mind that the standard homeowner policy should cover you in several ways, including:

Water/wind/hail damage to the structure; your policy should cover exterior damage such as to the roof and siding.
Personal contents; damage to your personal property, much of which may have been destroyed by flooding during the storm. Interior water damage can also cause mold/mildew growth, which also needs to be remediated.
Debris removal; the cost to haul away the damaged property from the storm.
Increased construction costs; Often after a storm, costs for labor and materials to rebuild your house skyrocket. But many insurance companies refuse to acknowledge this reality.
Additional living expenses; Cost of living temporarily in a hotel or apartment while your home is being repaired, which could be several months after a major storm.

When a hurricane makes landfall, it can literally turn our lives upside down. Cleanup after a major disaster is bad enough without having to fight your insurance company to receive the full compensation you are due. The problem is that after a storm, many insurers are dealing with hundreds or even thousands of property damage claims, and they are often very conservative in their damage assessments, hoping to minimize their payouts.

We're proud to serve clients throughout Florida including the cities of Clermont, Kissimmee, Tavares, Haines City, Leesburg, St. Cloud, Eustis, Lady Lake, Apopka, Winter Haven, Lakeland and Sanford.

Essentially, whatever costs you incur to restore your home (and life) to pre-storm conditions are supposed to be covered by your homeowner policy. Unfortunately, your insurance company is not always willing to pay the proper replacement costs. If you are having trouble dealing with your insurer following a major storm, it is important to know your legal rights.
