Hurricane damage

Many victims of hurricanes are faced with substantial property damage.

These are complex effects, especially if your insurance company refuses to pay your claim on time.

Getting fair compensation can be difficult, especially if your homeowner’s insurance claim is filed on your own. Vaval Law’s Florida Hurricane Damage Lawyer will help you receive the compensation you are entitled to.


Types of Damages You Can Claim after a Hurricane

You may be eligible to receive reimbursement for damage to your property

  • Flood and fire damage
  • Broken windows, shingles and roofs, siding
  • Trees that have been tipped or uprooted
  • Water and power loss
  • Roadway obstruction or damage to power lines
  • Vehicle damage
  • Damage to detached garages, barns, or porches

The extent of property damage caused by hurricanes depends on where it is located, the environment, and the strength of the property’s structure. It can be challenging to repair the damage caused by hurricanes. However, your safety and the safety of others are the most important priority after a storm. You can then protect your home’s structural integrity and prevent further damage.


These steps will help you assess and manage property damage after a hurricane.

After a hurricane

  • To prevent further damage, cover all property that has been damaged with a tarp. The insurance company might use this excuse to reduce your compensation or deny it.
  • Document the damage to your property: You can take photographs of your damaged properties after a hurricane and note any details. These photos can be used to show the insurance company the extent of the damage. They will be unable to deny your loss’s fair value without proof.
  • Claim your insurance: You can feel overwhelmed by the financial consequences of a hurricane. But, it is essential to file your claim with your insurance company immediately. The insurance company may try to prolong the case if you delay.
  • Get a second opinion. Get an expert to look at your damages. This will ensure that the estimates of your insurance agent are accurate.
  • Get legal help: Contact our Florida attorney. We will help you navigate the negotiation process and ensure your voice is heard.

Here are three things to remember about hurricane insurance

  1. Are you a homeowner, and do you require flood insurance? The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire states that homeowners insurance does not usually include flood insurance. You may need separate flood insurance coverage if you live near a lake or land at risk from storm surges.
  2. How high is your hurricane damage deductible? Insurance companies offer policies for a property that include high deductibles to cover damage caused by hurricanes and other natural disasters. You may need to purchase additional policies or higher hurricane deductibles if you own property.
  3. What is the difference between hurricane insurance policies? Different insurance companies offer additional coverage plans depending on the damage you are prone to and the amount of coverage you have. How will your policy stand up to a storm?

How Insurance Companies Avoid Paying Policyholders

Insurance companies try to avoid paying total compensation to policyholders for hurricane damage as it strains their cash reserves. Insurance adjusters might use questionable strategies in their favor. These are insurance agents’ most common methods to avoid total payouts.

  • We are trying to convince you not to get an attorney to help you with the claim dispute.
  • Without clear explanations, deny claims.
  • Challenge the severity of your damages
  • Neglecting that your policy provides specific insurance coverage
  • As a settlement or payment of your claim, you will need to request a written release from any additional claims.
  • Assessing the economic consequences of your damage and any low-balling offers they make

Insurance policies are complex and technical. It is easy to misinterpret them. Insurance companies may also modify the meaning to their advantage. Please do not attempt to navigate this process yourself; let one of our lawyers handle your case.
