What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover In Orlando?
Often, Florida homeowner insurance policies include hurricane coverage and a hurricane deductible. An insurer may refer to these things as “hurricane protection.” However, most policies don’t cover flood damage, and some homeowner’s policies don’t have hurricane protection at all.
If you have hurricane damage coverage, you’re covered for repairs and other property losses. You may also be covered for living expenses while your home is uninhabitable. If you have flood damage coverage, this may help you recover additional losses not covered by your hurricane insurance.
Your policy or policies could cover such losses as:
- The cost of cleaning up debris
- The cost of repairing your roof, doors, fences, and/or windows
- Foundational damage to your home
- Damage to your shed and/or garage
- The costs involved in repairing water damage
- The cost of staying in a hotel or relocating
What Should I Do After A Hurricane In Florida?
Right after a hurricane, there are certain steps that may benefit you as you begin your case. However, you may be disoriented after the storm and overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done. It can help to have a list of things to do following a hurricane.
First, having an attorney early on in the process can make checking things off of your to-do list a lot easier. Not only can we help you with the initial steps, such as contacting your insurance, but we can represent you in the final days of negotiation.
Generally, you should do the following right away:
- Ensure your family has the care and accommodations they need. If you are still able to reside in your home, secure problem areas as best as you can to prevent further injury or loss. Follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to be safe in the days following the storm.
- Contact your insurance company (or companies) about the damage to your home. They may be able to advise you about temporary accommodations if your home is uninhabitable. There may also be a short time limit for contacting them about damage to your property.
Once you secure your attorney, they can take care of the rest. While you focus on what matters, we will move your claim forward.

The Importance Of Having A Lawyer
Typically, homeowner’s insurance companies try to discount or diminish your losses. For instance, your insurer may claim certain losses aren’t covered by your policy. They may also claim your losses aren’t as costly as you say they are, that certain damage to your home was there before the incident, and/or that damage was caused by flooding which is beyond what your policy covers.
The services your lawyer will provide can protect your claim against manipulation by the insurer. If they still try to diminish your claim, we will push back, even if it means taking your case to court.
