Tornado Damage

Florida Tornado Damage Attorneys 

Tornadoes are among the most destructive natural disasters, with wind speeds that can soar up to 300 miles per hour in the most violent storms. These powerful winds can strip asphalt from roads, hurl cars through the air, and tear homes apart. The aftermath of a tornado can be catastrophic, leaving you to deal with significant property damage. At Fauntleroy & Satmary, we are dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of tornado damage claims and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. 

Types of Tornado Damage 

Tornadoes can cause a wide range of damage, all of which may be covered by your insurance policy. Common types of tornado damage include: 

• Wind Damage: High winds can rip off roofs, break windows, and damage walls. 
• Structural Damage: Tornadoes can compromise the integrity of your home’s structure. 
• Roof Damage: Shingles and roofing materials can be torn off or damaged. 
• Water Damage: Rain and flooding can lead to extensive water damage. 
• Fire Damage: Tornadoes can cause fires from damaged gas lines or electrical systems. 
• Lost Personal Property: Personal belongings can be destroyed or blown away. 
• Flooring Damage: Flooring can be damaged by water or debris. 
• Damage to Motor Vehicles: Cars can be severely damaged or destroyed. 
• Landscape Damage: Trees, plants, and outdoor structures can be uprooted or damaged. 

Why Tornado Damage Claims Can Be Challenging 

Dealing with the aftermath of a tornado is stressful enough without having to fight with your insurance company over your claim. Unfortunately, insurance providers often make the process difficult by delaying payments, offering low settlements, or denying claims altogether. Here’s where Fauntleroy & Satmary can help. 

Proving Your Loss 

Our attorneys have the resources to determine the exact location and impact of the tornado on your property. We may even order an independent appraisal to ensure all losses are thoroughly documented. Our goal is always to get your property back to its pre-loss condition. 

Steps to Take After a Tornado 

If your property has been damaged by a tornado, follow these steps to strengthen your insurance claim: 

• Document the Damage: Take photos and videos of all damage, including structural issues, roof damage, and lost personal property. 
• Secure Your Property: Prevent further damage by covering broken windows, tarping the roof, and removing debris. 
• Review Your Insurance Policy: Understand your coverage, deductibles, and any exclusions related to tornado damage. 
• Get an Independent Estimate: Hire a contractor or adjuster to provide a third-party estimate of the repair costs. 
• File Your Claim Promptly: Florida has strict time limits for filing insurance claims, so report the damage as soon as it is safe to do so.
