Hurricane Michael Property Claims
If your property suffered damage from Hurricane Michael, you can file a claim with your property insurance (e.g., homeowner’s insurance) for covered losses.
Hurricane coverage may include:
| Roof damage | Water damage | Flooding/storm surge |
| Storm loss | Personal property | Debris cleanup |
| Disaster remediation | Securing the property | Displacement expenses |
Unfortunately, stories of insurance carriers refusing to cover losses after major disaster events like hurricanes are not uncommon. Carriers may:
- Deny that your policy covers your losses
- Delay your claim unnecessarily
- Deny your claim outright without reasonable explanation
- Offer a lowball settlement
- Allege coverage lapses
- Fail to investigate your claim altogether
We can protect your rights. Our team can:
- Talk to the insurance company for you
- Front the costs necessary to get your life back on track
- Negotiate a settlement
- Litigate your case at trial, if necessary
