Homeowner's Hurricane Claims

  The State of Florida is uniquely situated to endure some form of hurricane damage every year—frankly, this is part of the price we pay for the beauty we enjoy throughout our wonderful state. While the severity of these storms may vary, the purpose of having hurricane insurance is to protect you and your family in the event of a hurricane. You pay your insurance premiums each and every month so that when damage occurs to your home or property, you will be covered under your policy. 

If you are filing an insurance claim, something unfortunate has probably happened to you and your family. Dealing with an insurance company is probably not your first priority in these circumstances. Indeed, insurance companies may take advantage of this fact. Insurance companies often delay payments, submit partial payments, or just deny the claims that should be promptly approved. Of course, such denials can have devastating personal and financial effects on folks who count on their insurers to do the right thing. 

Some common insurer tactics include:

• Citing preexisting damage, prior to the hurricane, to avoid payment
• Delaying claims dangerously close to the filing deadline
• Denying payment for repairs they claim are unnecessary
• Insisting policyholders provide unnecessary paperwork and documentation for recovery
• Stating the damage sustained was not included in the policy 
• Underpaying the value of claims
