Still, the damage to personal property from a storm like Ian can come as a surprise. You should be prepared and know exactly what to do if your home or business has been damaged in Hurricane Ian. Follow these steps after Hurricane Ian if your property has been damaged: 1. Document The Damage Once conditions are safe to do so, you need to assess the damage to your property. Make a list of all belongings and property that have been damaged in the storm. It is a good idea to take photos and videos of your entire property as you assess the damage. If your property damage claim is denied, these will be valuable pieces of evidence. 2. Make Temporary Home Or Property Repairs Sometimes, a property sustains damage that requires immediate repairs to make it usable. If you need to make repairs to your home or business, make sure you document the repairs you’ve made and keep receipts for all materials and labor. 3. Know Your Insurance Coverage Before making an insurance claim, you should read your entire insurance policy and make sure you understand what is and isn’t covered. Most homeowner’s insurance policies and other property insurance policies in Florida include hurricane coverage, but they are not legally required for them to do so. Reviewing your policy before making a claim can save time and energy. 4. File An Insurance Claim You should file your claim as soon as safely possible. Property owners are required by most policies to file a claim within a certain time period. Even if your property appears undamaged, filing a claim is a smart thing to do. Hidden damage to your property could appear years later. 5. Get A Third-Party Estimate You should never rely only on your insurance adjuster’s estimate for how much repairs will cost. They may want to pay as little as possible and, therefore, might underpay your claim. You can hire a reputable third-party contractor to come and assess the damage at your home and give you an estimate for repairs to return the property to its original condition. 6. Hire An Insurance Claims Attorney Anyone who is struggling with the claims process should look into law firms that offer legal assistance for insurance disputes.
