Hail and Other Property Damage Can Lead to Disputes with Insurance Companies 

Putting together a claim for insurance for your property damage oftentimes requires:

  • The gathering of evidence to show your damage and prove the value of damage sustained 
  • The timely filing of the insurance claim with the proper party 
  • The negotiation of your claim with the insurance company to recover your damages 
  • If a fair amount is not offered, or if your covered claim is denied, a lawsuit may be necessary. 

Working with an experienced property damage lawyer helps make sure that you have the support necessary to fight for complete compensation to repair and restore your property after the damage has occurred.

Reasons Insurance Claims are Denied 

If you have experienced property damage as a result of hail and your insurance claim has been delayed, denied, or underpaid, we can offer you help. It can be helpful to ask yourself the following questions: 

  • What is the value of my insurance claim?
  • Has the insurance company acknowledged covered damages?
  • What is a reasonable outcome given the circumstances? 
  • Do I need help with my insurance claim?

Having a Florida hail damage lawyer take the time to review your claim and gather information and evidence may be the assistance you need to achieve a timely and complete resolution. 

Some common reasons that insurance companies improperly deny claims include:

  • The insurance company determines that there has been no compensable loss or no covered damage where covered damage has been sustained
  • The  insurance company claims the damages you have experienced are found to be below the policy deductible 
  • The insurance company claims that your damages are lower than what your claim includes 
  • The insurance company decides that your loss is excluded from your policy and will not be covered when there are covered portions or coverage can be established 

If your insurance claim has been denied, reach out to a Florida hail damage attorney for help in considering what your legal options are. This could include filing a lawsuit to seek the full amount you are entitled to for your claim.
