Insurance Coverage and Claims for Hurricane Damage
Each homeowner’s insurance policy is different in the exact coverage it offers, but regardless there are several types of damage to property that are typically covered in some capacity (after, in most cases, a deductible). The majority of insurance policies in the State of Florida cover damages such as:
- Repair or replacement of the home and its contents.
- Repair or replacement of adjacent structures, such as garages or sheds.
- Repair or replacement of amenities like pools or patios.
- Coverage of expenses while your home is being repaired or your property is being cleared of debris.
As a policyholder, knowing your coverage means carefully reading your property insurance policy so that you know what is covered in the fine print. It’s also important that your homeowners policy is up to date and its premiums have been paid on time.
If you know your policy is in good shape but do not understand the detailed nuances of your coverage, or if your insurance company claims adjuster disagrees that they owe you reimbursement for your claim, you might be at a loss for the next steps to take to fight for justice to recoup your hurricane losses.
This is the time, however, to call the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine to speak to a hurricane claims lawyer in Boca Raton.

Denied Insurance Claims Explained
When a hurricane strikes Florida, entire communities can be left to pick up the pieces. When they all reach out to their insurance provider to file claims, one of the ways that the insurance companies try to keep financially afloat is to limit payouts or deny claims altogether. They may act in bad faith during the claims process and deny you the financial recovery you are entitled to.
Their reasons for claim denial can vary. They might, for instance, claim the damage for which you filed the claim came from a source other than the hurricane. They might also try to argue that you are not covered for the damage claimed.
No matter their reason, your insurance company’s decision to deny your homeowners insurance claim is not the end of the road for your compensation. It is just the beginning of your fight for justice. Reach out to a hurricane property claim lawyer in Boca Raton from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine so that we can fight for your compensation through the insurance claims process while you put your home and life back together.
