Fauntleroy & Satmary, P.A.: Advocating For The Rights Of Policyholders
Unexpected events like accidents and natural disasters can lead to substantial emotional and financial stress. You may be faced with costs for property repairs, medical care, lost wages, or unexpected legal issues when your insurance coverage falls short. Many individuals purchase insurance hoping never to use it, only to find themselves unsupported by their insurers through claim denials, delays, or underpayments.
Insurance companies often put their profits above your needs, leaving you to manage on your own despite having paid premiums faithfully. It's essential to recognize your rights and understand that seeking legal help is often the most effective way to secure the compensation you deserve.
At Fauntleroy & Satmary, we are committed to protecting your rights as a policyholder. Our experienced attorneys excel in navigating complex insurance disputes, commercial litigation, and civil matters. We provide personalized, strategic legal guidance designed to ensure comprehensive support throughout your case.
Types of Insurance Disputes
Denied Claims
Property damage claim denials happen more often than you might think. Sometimes it’s due to missing information or a simple misunderstanding between you and your insurance provider.
Underpaid Claims
Dealing with an underpaid property damage claim can be incredibly frustrating. Insurance companies often undervalue claims, especially in cases of significant loss, impacting recovery.
Delayed Claims
When your property is damaged by a hurricane, fire, wind, water, mold, or any other disaster, you expect your insurance company to handle your claim quickly. But, that's not always the case.
Bad Faith
Insurance bad faith refers to the unfair conduct of an insurance company towards its policyholders. Bad faith occurs when an insurer breaches the duty of good faith owed to policyholders.
Fauntleroy & Satmary, P.A.: Secure the Compensation You Deserve
It's important to remember that insurance companies often prioritize their shareholders, sometimes engaging in practices such as denying or delaying valid claims to protect their profits.

Causes Of Property Damage
Fauntleroy & Satmary, P.A.: Estate Planning
At Fauntleroy & Satmary, our skilled Estate Planning lawyers are dedicated to guiding you through the planning process. We listen to your concerns, advise on possible options, and craft a comprehensive estate plan tailored to meet all of your needs.
Estate planning involves managing your assets in case of death or incapacity. Without proper planning, the state of Florida may distribute your assets among relatives based on statutory guidelines, possibly ignoring your personal wishes.
Additionally, in the absence of directives like a power of attorney, health care decisions and end-of-life care could be left to doctors or family members who may not know your preferences, potentially leading to conflicts or unwanted medical interventions. Court intervention could also result in imposed guardianship over your medical and financial affairs.
Proactive estate planning allows you to dictate exactly how your assets are distributed, to whom, and when. It also enables you to specify your medical treatment preferences and appoint trusted individuals to oversee your care and assets if you become incapacitated. This planning ensures that both you and your loved ones are cared for and protected regardless of what the future holds.

Our team knows that every case is different, and we believe that individualized attention, rigorous preparation, and hard work are key to achieving successful outcomes.
