Quarry Blasting Damage Claims
Rock quarry blasting has become a severe problem for homeowners in South Florida. Due to the continuous population growth in the area, we now find residential neighborhoods as close as 1,000 feet from the quarries. Although the State of Florida has set regulations to minimize the effects of blasting in surrounding areas, blasting continues to cause grave damages to properties and cost homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs.
Blasting Damage Attorneys From an Experienced Firm
In most cases property insurance companies are meant to, and should, provide coverage to the insured's claims for damages caused by blasting. Nonetheless, 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.
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.
