Our Palm Beach Gardens Tornado Attorneys Document Your Property Damage
According to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a tornado can reach funneling wind speeds of up to 318 mph. The destruction a tornado leaves in its wake can be hard to cope with and document. Our client-focused legal team will be by your side in your fight for fair compensation to repair or rebuild your home.
To ensure your claim is accurate and contains sufficient evidence of your property damage, we will include evidence such as:
- Photos before the tornado’s strike, if available
- Photos and video of the catastrophic damage from varying angles
- Weather reports for your area, if requested
- A detailed list and description of your home’s contents
- Receipts for temporary housing for you and your family
Our Palm Beach Gardens property damage lawyers will help you create a comprehensive case file. If we represent you in an appeal, we will also help you gather additional evidence to supplement your insurance claim.
Take the Necessary Steps to Protect and Secure Your Damaged Property
When the insurance adjuster investigates your tornado damage, they will send someone to inspect your home and perform a damage assessment. Do not make any repairs, even minor ones, without their authorization. You should, however, board up broken windows and tarp or otherwise secure your home to prevent further damage.
We Will Help You Meet all Notification and Filing Deadlines Related to Your Tornado Damage Claim
You have a limited time to file an insurance claim after a tornado in Palm Beach County. Consult your insurance policy for its specific instructions on filing a claim after a natural disaster. It will tell you how and when to file a property damage claim. Your claim must also meet the state’s mandated filing deadline.

We Will Also Help You Protect Your Claim by Meeting Your Responsibilities
To hold the insurance company responsible for compensating you, we will ensure your claim meets all state, local, and policy guidelines. We will ensure your claim is:
- As error-free as possible
- Filed within the allotted time
- Packed with evidence
No one should have to take on a huge insurance provider on their own, so we will also accept your case on a contingency fee basis. We’ll do all the hard work and cover all upfront expenses. You will only pay our law firm when you receive compensation, and you will not owe us any fees if we do not secure a financial recovery for you.
Our Attorneys Will Ensure You Know Your Rights as a Palm Beach Gardens Homeowner
Florida’s Homeowner Claims Bill of Rights protects consumers who struggle to get fair and appropriate treatment and compensation from their insurance company. They must:
- Acknowledge receipt of your claim within 7 days
- Respond to your Proof of Loss Statement within 30 days
- Provide a compensation estimate within 7 days of approval
- Pay or deny your property damage claim within 60 days
Our familiarity with supporting Florida homeowners means we know how to keep your claim moving forward. It also means we know how to take legal action against an insurer that does not handle your claim in good faith.
You Can Fight Back if Unseemly Delay Tactics Affect Your Claim
Insurance companies sometimes make unwarranted delays due to overwhelm when multiple property owners file claims at once, like in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Bad faith insurance tactics can also lead to unfounded delays. Actions like those described in Florida Statutes § 624.155 could warrant civil action on your part.
