Sarasota Hurricane Milton Insurance Claims Lawyer

Hurricane Milton slammed into Florida on October 9, 2024. This rapidly intensifying cyclone became the strongest tropical storm in the world for 2024, and it left a trail of destruction in its path, with billions of dollars in property damage. Many insured residents have made claims since then—but thousands have watched in disbelief as their insurance carrier has denied them. Contact Geyer Fuxa Tyler to speak with a Sarasota Hurricane Milton insurance claims lawyer.

Was Your Claim Denied?

Insurance companies are feeling the stress of paying out claims after dramatic storms like Hurricane Milton. To protect their bottom line, they frequently deny claims. They might:

  • Argue you did not submit sufficient evidence to prove your loss.
  • Claim the damage you suffered is not covered by your policy.
  • Offer to cover only part of your claim, perhaps arguing you failed to mitigate damage.
  • Allege the damage pre-dated Hurricane Milton, so you are not entitled to payment.
  • Set unrealistic rebuild or repair times.
  • Offer an extremely low settlement for your claim, forcing you to shoulder much of the financial loss.

Please call our office as soon as you receive a rejection. Our lawyers know all the techniques Florida claims adjusters are using to push claims into the “Denied!” bin.

The Benefits of a Hurricane Milton Insurance Claim Lawyer

No one should haggle with an insurance company on their own. These gigantic corporations have the resources to steamroll any policyholder—and it is definitely not a fair fight. Instead, reach out to Geyer Fuxa Tyler to see if our law firm can assist.

We can:

  • Review your insurance policy and any endorsements to see if your loss is covered.
  • Analyze the denial notice and whether it complies with the law.
  • Bolster your claim with supporting documentation or evidence, including information provided by a public adjuster.
  • Discuss possible appeals to prove that your loss is covered by the policy.
  • Negotiate with an insurance carrier to increase the amount offered.
  • Demand that an insurance carrier stop ignoring your claim and remind them of their obligations under Florida’s “bad faith” insurance laws.

Policyholders have various options for obtaining legal relief. For example, we might attend mediation or arbitrate the dispute. Depending on the facts, we might also file a bad faith legal claim and seek damages for your mistreatment. In court we can demand punitive damages if the dispute involves fraudulent conduct or oppression.

Some insurers are eager to force you into appraisal. This is one way to resolve a dispute involving the value of a claim. However, appraisal might not be the best option. Let’s discuss if we can argue the insurer waived their right to appraisal.

We Do Not Charge Any Upfront Fees

There is no risk to picking up the phone and calling our office. We have represented many clients on a contingency basis, and we can explain more about how to pay for our services in a consultation. A Sarasota Hurricane Milton insurance claims lawyer is standing by.
