Hurricanes of various categories strike Florida every year and often leave a trail of damage and destruction in their wake. Thus, if you purchased boat insurance to protect your investment in a yacht, you expect your insurer to compensate you promptly and fairly when your vessel sustains damage. Sadly, only some insurance companies will act as they should. So, if your insurer delays or denies your claim while inundating you with paperwork, we can help.
At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, our St. Petersburg property damage lawyer will help you prepare and file your claim. Our team will also help you challenge an inadequate settlement offer or file an effective appeal. We start by reviewing your claim at no cost or obligation. From there, we explain our strategy for ensuring your insurance provider lives up to your policy and compensates you for valid covered losses.
Our Legal Team Will Analyze Your Yacht Insurance Policy
Just as vehicle insurance policies can vary greatly, so can yacht insurance policies. For example, you may have riders and add-on coverage as part of your policy that offer further protection. For example, yacht insurance might cover hurricane haul out and other damage related to the storm.
Need help with how your policy protects your yacht? If so, you can have a member of our client-focused team review it during a free initial consultation. Then, we will compare your coverage options to your damage and explain how your policy should compensate you.
We also explain your rights as a policyholder and what you can do if your insurer’s handling of your claim means you can file a bad faith claim against your insurance company.
A Hurricane Can Severely Damage Your Yacht
Hurricane winds can reach incredible speeds. If a hurricane strikes where you docked your yacht, commonly reported damages can include:
- Damage from collisions and pileups
- Structural damage and corrosion
- Dock rash and grounding
- Post-hurricane salvage damage
When we represent you in your fight for compensation, our St. Perersburg personali injury lawyers help you create a detailed list of the damage your vessel sustained. In addition, we document your damage with photos and videos that support your right to financial recovery.
What To Do If Your Insurer Denies Your Initial Claim
You do not have to stop fighting for the compensation you need and deserve simply because your insurer denied your claim. Instead, speak to a member of our case assessment team to find out how we can:
- Review any correspondence related to your denial
- Prove your policy covers your yacht damage
- Handle all filings, mediation, and negotiations
We will not stop fighting for you or for the compensation you need and deserve to return your yacht to seaworthiness.
