Bring Your Vero Beach Hurricane Milton Damage Lawyer a Copy of Your Insurance Policies
According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), a standard homeowners’ policy should cover much of the damage caused by a hurricane. However, it may not cover all the damage to your home from this single event, so bring us copies of any add-ons, optional coverage, or additional freestanding policies you have purchased.
A basic policy will generally cover the following damage to homes:
- Wind damage
- Hail damage
- Tornado damage
- And more
Add-ons and separate policies may cover other types of damage, such as a flood, that would otherwise go uncovered. Let our Vero Beach Hurricane Milton damage lawyers examine your policies. Contact our consultation team at Ged Lawyers for a free claim review.
How We Will Document Covered Losses for Your Vero Beach Insurance Claim
Before evaluating your claim, your insurance company will want proof of the damage to your real and personal property. To support the monetary value of your compensation request, we will collect evidence such as:
- Photos of your home and its contents before the hurricane, if available
- Photos and videos of your home after the structural damage occurred and from varying angles
- Receipts for boarding, tarping, or otherwise securing your home or preventing additional damage
- Bills and receipts for additional living expenses (ALE)
We’ll do more than collect evidence for your claim. We will also complete your Proof of Loss statement and submit it with a complete claim filing.
Our Hurricane Milton Damage Lawyers Will Protect Your Rights as a Florida Homeowner
If you purchased insurance protection and paid the monthly premiums, you should be able to count on it when you need it and trust your insurance company to treat you fairly. According to Florida’s Homeowner Claims Bill of Rights, you have the right to:
- File a valid claim with your insurance provider
- Seek approval for needed home repairs
- Make any necessary emergency repairs
- Review documentation related to your deductible
- Vet and verify potential contractors
- Secure your property and relocate your family
If your insurance provider violated your rights or mishandled your claim in any way, our law firm will take on your insurer, including taking your claim to court, if necessary, to keep fighting for the full value of your insurance policy or policies.
Our Attorneys Can Help You Fight Back if Bad Faith Insurance Tactics Marred Your Claim
According to Florida Statutes § 624.155, bad faith tactics include failure to pay a legitimate claim, making unwarranted claim delays, misrepresenting your policy, and more.
We will take civil action against the insurance company on your behalf if it acted in bad faith. This action could lead to additional compensation for you and your family. We will also support you by filing an effective appeal if your insurer denied your initial claim for other reasons.
