Your property damage attorney at Goldman & Daszkal can guide you through filing a hurricane insurance claim if your home sustains damage from a storm. Your attorney will review your policy to determine the compensation offered and will consider the following factors when assessing your hurricane damage claim:
If The Insurer Denies or Underpays Your Claim
Insurance companies must work with policyholders in good faith to pay the coverages owed under their policy terms. They must process claims promptly and treat you fairly during the claims process. Finding out your insurance company denied or underpaid your hurricane claim can be frustrating. Your lawyer can help you receive payment.
If Your Claim Needs More Evidence
If your insurance company denies your claim, your lawyer can help prepare appropriate records. The insurer could argue that you didn’t submit adequate evidence of your damages. Your attorney can present the documentation of your damages and repair bills to the insurance company on your behalf.
If the Insurer Acted in Bad Faith
Your Goldman & Daszkal attorney will review your claim to determine whether the insurer acted in bad faith. Bad faith practices by property damage insurance companies include:
- Insufficient investigation of your case
- Extensive delays processing your claim
- Unreasonable requests for additional documents
- Misrepresentations and omissions from your coverage from the insurance adjuster
- Threatening tactics from claims adjusters for you to accept a settlement
- Neglecting to negotiate for a legitimate, open claim
Failure to offer a full settlement
Your attorney might advise you to sue your insurer in a bad faith claim if they acted unreasonably. Our attorneys can help you pursue a lawsuit against your provider for a settlement that includes damages in your hurricane insurance case.
