Kissimmee Hurricane Damage Insurance Claims Lawyer | Roof and Flood Attorney Residents in Kissimmee, Orlando, or other areas of central Florida experienced residual effects from the Category 4 Hurricane Ian in late September 2022. While the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it moved inward off the gulf coast, its high winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surge led to extensive property damage, personal injury, and fatalities for Florida residents. Hurricane damage to homes and businesses should mostly be covered by homeowners insurance, but natural disasters like Ian can put strain on insurance companies. This in turn leads to undervalued or unpaid insurance claims. If you are having trouble with your hurricane damage claim, the Florin|Roebig legal team can help you secure the payout you need to repair your home. Reach out to us today to learn more. What Types Of Damage Were Caused By Hurricane Ian In Kissimmee?

Most damages to Kissimmee homes and businesses were caused by downed power lines, fallen trees leading to such effects as damaged roofs, and overwhelming flooding. Residents in Osceola County and nearby areas in central Florida have been approved to apply for individual assistance and emergency assistance due to the storm damage. If your home or business in Kissimmee has been affected by Ian, don’t settle for a lowball payout. Connect with esteemed insurance claim attorneys for help taking on the insurance providers. What Damages Are Covered Under Florida Property Insurance? Floridians cite multiple types of damages on their hurricane claims. Policyholders should understand that most damages will be covered, and when insurance companies deny or undervalue coverage, this is an act of bad faith. The only exception to this is flood damage, which may be covered under a separate or additional policy. In general, types of damages which may be covered by your homeowner’s insurance: Wind damage, such as to roofs, siding, shingles, or landscapes Water damage, such as flood damage, damage to landscaping, to sheds, garages, flooring, and more Damage caused by flying debris, this includes damage to any personal property outside your home Damage to windows, doors, and other areas of the home Do understand that personal injury, car accidents, and other hurricane damage unrelated to the home will not be covered by your property insurance.

Find out if you have a case we could help you win Speak To a Specialist Steps To Take After Hurricane Ian Damages Your Home In Kissimmee Whether you’re located in Miami, Fort Myers, Tampa, or somewhere else in Florida, you can seek compensation for hurricane damage if you had the proper insurance coverage prior to the storm. To safeguard against an unfair or denied payout, take the following steps immediately after the hurricane ends and it is safe to do so. 1. Make A Detailed Account Of The Damages It’s important to assess all damages caused by the storm, as this will be crucial to your insurance claim. Take pictures of the storm damage for all areas of your home and property. One thing it’s important to recognize is that you won’t fully understand the extent of the damages immediately after the storm. For instance, flood damage can have long-lasting effects if it isn’t repaired right away. And if you have to wait on an insurance payout to make the necessary repairs, the damage could be extensive and the costs quite high. Take more photos than you may even think are necessary, from multiple angles, and ensure you have good lighting. 2. Perform Temporary Repairs, If Necessary It is a risk to perform temporary repairs, as risk of electrocution and other dangers are high immediately after a storm. If it is safe to do so, and you find you cannot return to your home without making some repairs, keep receipts from any expenses to submit with your claim. Your insurance policy should reimburse you for these costs. 3. Review Your Insurance Policy Insurance for real estate can be complex, so it’s important that you understand your coverage before you make your claim. Since flood insurance isn’t included on all policies, be sure you know whether you have this type of insurance coverage prior to making your claim. Also check to ensure you have kept your premiums paid up-to-date, that you have met your deductible, and that you have any information you need to contact the adjusters. 4. File Your Insurance Claim When you’re ready, file your insurance claim to seek compensation for home and property repairs. You likely have a time limit with your insurance provider to file, so be sure to do it as soon as possible. If your insurance adjuster does not answer or return your calls, attempts to unfairly deny your claim, or offers an amount that is much lower than the overall cost of repairs, it’s time to seek help from an attorney. 5. Consult A Hurricane Damage Lawyer A hurricane damage lawyer can help if you have any concerns that your claim will not be paid, will be underpaid, or that your claim will be denied without cause.
