Our Lawyers Can Help You With Your Cape Coral Hurricane Milton Property Damage Claims
If your home or business suffered damage in Hurricane Milton, you may have insurance coverage available for repairs, personal property repair or replacement, loss of use expenses, and more. Many property owners carry policies that could cover damages, including:
- Hurricane insurance
- Flood insurance
- Homeowners insurance
- Renters insurance
- Commercial property damage insurance
- Business interruption insurance
If you are not sure about your coverage or need help with your claims, we can analyze your policies, determine what covered damages you have, gather evidence, and file your claims for you. We live and work here, too. We know how challenging it can be to get the money you need and deserve in the wake of a major storm.
The most common types of coverage we utilize in hurricanes are hurricane insurance and flood insurance. Your hurricane policy should cover wind damage from the time the National Weather Service issues a watch or warning until 72 hours after the final warning ends. Flood insurance covers damage from the storm surge and flooding from excess rainfall.
We represent property owners, including both homeowners and commercial property owners. We can help you understand your coverage and navigate the residential and/or commercial property damage claims process for you.
What Types of Damage Was Hurricane Milton Predicted to Cause?
While Hurricane Helene just two weeks prior was primarily a storm surge and flooding event, Hurricane Milton was forecasted to bring both flooding and significant wind damage to a significant portion of Florida’s population. In fact, Climate.gov referred to Milton as the strongest late-season storm on record.
The National Weather Service (NWS) predicted that this “dangerous major hurricane” would bring:
- A destructive storm surge—“potentially catastrophic”
- Heavy rainfall
- A few tornadoes
This was in addition to predicted winds of at least 111 miles per hour at landfall, and potentially much higher.
When property damage occurs in this type of storm, it is typically either wind or flood damage. However, it is important to differentiate between them. Hurricane insurance generally only covers wind damage, while a separate flood policy handles storm surge or flash flooding losses.
Our attorneys understand the necessary evidence to support each type of property damage claim and how to document your covered losses. We can handle either type of claim for you—or both when necessary.
When Should I Call a Cape Coral Hurricane Milton Property Damage Attorney?
Some property owners call our team as soon as they see the damage to their home or business. Our property damage lawyers manage their claims from the start, representing them to the insurance company, building support for their claim, and handling all the necessary paperwork. They can focus on more important tasks with their family or work while we fight for the money they deserve.
Others call us only after they hit a roadblock in the claims process. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon. This is especially true when there is a large-scale natural disaster such as a major hurricane, and millions of property owners file damage claims at the same time.
Some examples of how the insurance companies could make it difficult for policyholders to get the money they deserve include:
- Inappropriate hurricane claim denials
- Unreasonable delays in evaluating claims or making payouts
- Lowball offers that do not cover the losses
- Disputing the damage or the cause of the damage
- Incorrectly telling you that you did not suffer a covered event
- Demanding impossible documentation of damages or other unreasonable evidence
When you work with an attorney from our team, we know how to determine your coverage, document your losses, and ensure the insurance company understands the full range of your necessary repairs and property damage. We will not stand for delays, lowball offers, or other inappropriate and unfair treatment.
