Property Losses Due to Water and Floods
If your home or property has losses due to water, you likely have many questions regarding whether your losses are covered under your insurance policy. The following are some of the most common concerns regarding losses due to water or floods after a Florida homeowner is faced with catastrophic weather events or an accident.
Water Losses vs. Flood Losses
Water damage can occur from a pipe bursting, a fire (from the rescue attempts by firefighters to extinguish the fire), or weather-related events such as hurricanes and tropical storms. Even if you have a homeowners’ insurance policy, never assume that your property is covered in the event of a flood.
A flood is defined as water that has touched the ground before it touches your property or home. In the case of a pipe bursting or water losses due to a fire, you would not need to look to your flood insurance for compensation. However, floods resulting from hurricanes and tropical storms are often not covered under a homeowners’ insurance policy. You would need to be covered by something like the National Flood Insurance Program. Because so many different types of accidents and events lead to water damage, it is important to determine which portion of your insurance covers your particular losses. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine at 1-800-747-3733, we can help you determine your rights under your different insurance policies, and help you determine how to receive compensation for your losses.
Mold and Decay
Because so many different types of accidents and events lead to water damage, it is important to determine which portion of your insurance covers your particular losses. Failure to clean up mold in your home can lead to catastrophic health problems, including bronchitis, respiratory infections, and asthma. Decay is the decomposition of an object, which can be found in the wood of your home after an accident or weather-related event. Decay can attract termites, ants, and continue to rot so that structures can collapse. Making repairs as soon as possible to areas that have been affected by water after an accident or weather-related event is critical. We can help you negotiate with the insurance companies to ensure that any water losses resulting in the mold are compensated according to your insurance policies.
