Our Panama City Storm Damage Lawyer Will Review and Explain Your Policy
Our Panama City personal injury lawyers know that when a major storm occurs, properties often suffer water and wind damage. This includes damage to the roof, windows, walls, and other structural elements. When wind strips the roof of shingles or a tree falls and damages the roof, water damage is also common. These damages likely fall under your homeowners’ insurance policy coverage.
Some types of damages require special policies, though. For example, flood damage requires flood insurance coverage. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has 1.7 million policyholders and provides over $441 billion in coverage in Florida. This coverage is necessary for:
- Storm surge
- Runoff flooding
- Flash floods
- Mudslides
- Other types of inundation events
In some areas, named storms could require special insurance, too. Our attorneys often help with hurricane claims after a significant storm.
When you have damage from a covered event, you should be able to seek and recover money for cleanup, repairs, replacing damaged items, and loss of use of your property during repairs.
Our attorneys will review and explain your policy. We understand the language used and know how unique these policies can be. Before we begin work on your claim, you will have a strong understanding of your deductibles, exclusions, policy limits, and other details of your coverage.

Our Panama City, FL, Lawyers Know How Insurance Companies Approach Storm Damage Claims
Insurance companies do not always act in the best interest of their policyholders. In fact, insurance companies and claims adjusters generally work to protect the bottom line of the company.
