Florida Insurance & Litigation Lawyers / Sunrise Hurricane Helene Insurance Claim Lawyer

Sunrise Hurricane Helene Insurance Claim Lawyer

At the end of September 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane. The storm killed over 230 people and Florida was one of the states that was hit the hardest. Homeowners and business owners alike suffered extensive property damage from devastating flooding and winds that reached up to 130 miles per hour. If your property has been damaged, you can likely file a claim to obtain compensation that can help you rebuild. Our Sunrise Hurricane Helene insurance claim lawyer can help you obtain the full compensation you deserve.

What Types of Properties are Insured for Hurricane Damage?

Commercial property insurance, as well as homeowners insurance, covers many different types of properties after hurricane damage. These properties include:

  • Residential properties, including single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, duplexes, modular homes, and mobile homes
  • Common elements owned by homeowners’ associations, such as gyms, pools, conference halls, welcome centers, outdoor areas, kitchens, and workspaces
  • Retail properties
  • Office buildings
  • Hotels
  • Medical centers
  • Malls
  • Warehouses and industrial properties

The Insurance Claims Process After Hurricane Helene

During the insurance claims process, an adjuster will review your insurance policy and investigate the property damage. To the surprise of many property owners, adjusters will use this information against you as reason to deny or delay your claim. They may bring in experts that will argue the extent of the damage is not as significant as you claim, that it was caused by something other than Hurricane Helene, or that the damage is not covered under your policy. Insurance companies often unfairly deny claims in order to preserve their own profits.

The insurance adjuster may also unnecessarily delay your claim. They may ask for documentation that they do not need, or they may simply not respond when you try to contact them. There are many reasons insurance companies delay claims. Mainly, they hope that you will run out of patience and either give up on the claim altogether, or accept a lowball offer that will not be enough to fully cover the extent of the damage.

Tips for Filing an Insurance Claim After Hurricane Helene

By following a few tips, you can protect any insurance claim you may have to file.

  • Take pictures of your property before and after any storm. This can prove that the damage was not pre-existing and that you properly maintained your property.
  • Review your insurance policy to determine what coverage you have currently.
  • Contact a lawyer who can protect your rights and speak to the insurance company on your behalf to ensure they do not act in bad faith.
