Your Hurricane Damage Attorneys

In 2024, Hurricane Helene caused widespread and severe damage throughout Florida. In fact, Helene struck quickly and with extreme force. As a result, homes and businesses suffered major losses. Notably, Helene was the strongest hurricane to hit Florida’s Big Bend region. Even worse, she became the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 2017. 

When Preparation Is Not Enough

As Floridians, we prepare when hurricanes approach. For example, we board windows and secure property. However, even careful planning cannot stop every loss.

When damage occurs, insurance should help restore normal life. After all, policyholders pay premiums for this protection. 

Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always cooperate. Because of this, many claims get delayed or denied. Therefore, legal help becomes critical.

Common Types of Hurricane Damage

After a major storm, damage may not be obvious. Still, hidden problems often exist. For example, hurricane damage may include:

• Flood and water damage
• Mold growth
• Roof damage
• Structural damage
• Wind or flying debris damage
• Plumbing damage
• Electrical, fire, or smoke damage
• Landscape damage
• Vehicle and boat damage
• Post-storm vandalism

Because damage can worsen, quick action matters.

Important Steps to Take After Hurricane Damage

If a storm damaged your property, act quickly, and take steps to protect your claim.

Step One: Document All Damage

First, take wide-angle photos.

Then, take close-up photos of damaged items.

Also, collect receipts if available.

Next, create a damage list. Include purchase dates and damage details.

Step Two: Prevent Further Damage

Next, protect your property.

For example, use tarps and plastic sheeting. This prevents additional loss.

Importantly, insurance may deny claims for preventable damage.

Step Three: Contact Your Insurance Adjuster

Then, report the claim immediately. Most policies require fast reporting. Therefore, do not delay.
