Insurance Policies That Could Provide Coverage for Storm Damage
The damage from a storm can trigger more than one insurance claim. Our legal team will help you pursue damage from all applicable avenues.
- Our Delray Beach wind damage lawyers can assist with insurance claims resulting from the strong winds occurring during a storm.
- Our Delray Beach flood damage lawyers can help with flood damage claims, which differ from water damage claims and are rarely covered by basic homeowners insurance or commercial insurance policies. You may also qualify for compensation to remediate mold growth resulting from flood waters.
- Our Delray Beach roof damage lawyers can assist with claims for roof leaks or other damage resulting from high winds and storms, including hurricane-force winds.
- Our Delray Beach fire damage claims lawyers can help with claims related to fires resulting from electrical wire damage or other storm-related hazards.
Whichever claim we file for you—even if we file multiple claims simultaneously—our entire legal team is committed to recovering fair compensation for you. We are a law firm with a history of winning. Founded in 1995, we have recovered over $26 million for Floridians like you.

Build a Solid Evidence Collection With Support From Our Delray Beach Storm Damage Insurance Claim Lawyers
Your insurance documents should describe the claim filing process. When we represent you, we will examine your policy in detail and file your claim accordingly. We will also submit evidence documenting your covered losses, such as:
- Photos and video of your home or business before the storm
- Photos and video of your home from varying angles after the storm
- Receipts for temporarily storing your personal or business possessions
- Receipts for boarding, tarping, or otherwise protecting your property from further damage
- Any relevant official reports, including police and other first responder reports
We will work hard to build a paper trail that proves the damage to your home, identifies covered losses per your policy, and substantiates your financial compensation request.
We Will Prepare and Submit Your Proof of Loss Form
The Insurance Information Institute (III) describes the importance of the Proof of Loss form in obtaining coverage from your insurer. This crucial form will contain:
- A description of each damaged item
- The approximate date of its purchase
- Its potential repair or replacement cost
You have a limited time—generally 60 days—to file this form. Our Florida property damage lawyers will check your policy for its specific submission deadline and file your Proof of Loss form on time.
You Do Not Have to Accept a Storm Damage Claim Denial Without a Fight
The appeals process exists for a reason. Your insurance carrier will have a unique system for appealing the adjuster’s decision. The process typically includes:
- Notifying the insurance provider of your decision to appeal
- Filing a formal appeal with the insurance company
- Requesting a review of your claim and evidence
- Submitting additional supportive evidence
- Negotiating for an acceptable settlement agreement
Your Delray Beach storm damage claim attorney will guide you through each step of the legal process and help you file a well-documented appeal. In addition to filing an appeal with your insurer, you can report them to Florida’s Department of Financial Services if you believe the adjuster denied your claim in bad faith.
We Will Not Let Bad Faith Insurance Tactics Prevent You From Getting Coverage
When you purchase homeowner or business insurance, you should be able to reap its benefits when you need them. Bad faith tactics that could affect valid storm damage claims can include:
- Creating unwarranted delays
- Failing to investigate your claim
- Misrepresenting your policy
- Making lowball settlement offers
If any of the above actions impacted your storm damage claim, our insurance bad faith lawyers will help you fight back. We will document the insurer’s actions and clarify your options for taking legal action.
