With many property owners affected in Keaton Beach, Florida and greater Taylor County area, insurance companies will likely be overwhelmed and slow to respond to policyholders. The sooner you start the process, the sooner you’ll get compensated for damage. Avoid delays, denials, or unfair offers. Call to speak to a hurricane claims expert about storm surge, flood, wind, or water damage claims.

We can help you understand your policy, file a claim, and get a settlement fast. We specialize in large-scale property loss including luxury homes, commercial properties, condominiums, and yachts.

Floridians and Houston dwellers are well-aware of the damage that can be inflicted on their properties by hurricanes and/or powerful storms. While most of us know how to prepare for such events, it is not always possible to avoid the large-scale damage and destruction that can follow from high winds and torrential rains. As a result, you may experience enormous and varied damage and wreckage to your commercial property or business. At such times, you will most likely rely on your insurance company to cover the damage under the terms of your policy.

Not all insurers deal fairly with policyholders and if you have been subjected to delays, denials, or lowball settlement offers, you need the help of a trusted law firm. Because insurance policies are couched in language that is almost impossible for the average person to understand, you may also not know what type of property damage your policy covers.

At Schirmer Law, we can help you understand your coverage, give you step-by-step assistance with filing your claim, and fight aggressively on your behalf when disputing the actions or inactions of your insurer that work against you.

Storm Damage Attorneys Fighting for Policy Holders

Unfortunately, it is all too common for insurance companies to engage in tactics designed to avoid paying hurricane, storm, or weather-related losses. You may be subjected to various insurance company obstacles, from your adjuster undervaluing the large-scale damage, having your insurer delay or fail to investigate your claim, and outright denials of claims without a fair explanation. These kinds of tactics can leave you without the compensation upon which you depend and can result in serious financial stress or even the loss of your property.

In any hurricane or storm damage claim, it is important that you understand the terms of your policy. This can be difficult considering the legalese you often face. It is also vital that you document all damages with photos and supporting evidence that will help you prove your case to your insurer.

Here is a list of common types of large-scale damage you should document after any major storm:

  • Broken doors and windows
  • Roof damage
  • Structural damage, including to walls, balconies, decks, porches or other outside buildings
  • Total destruction and collapse of the home or building
  • Damage to outdoor areas, such as pools, trees, landscaping, or sheds
  • Damage to vehicles and boats
  • Water damage and flooding
  • Foundation damage
  • Damage to driveways, such as cracks
  • Damage from downed wires and lines
  • Damage to the interior, including to personal belongings, furniture, computers, appliances, and more

When facing difficulties with any of the steps of the claims process, turn to Schirmer Law for assistance.
