Wind Damage
Florida Wind Damage Attorneys
High-velocity winds can wreak havoc on your home or business, causing significant damage that needs immediate attention. From debris striking your property to the sheer force of the wind ripping off siding or roofing materials, the aftermath can be overwhelming. When this happens, you rely on your insurance carrier to cover the repairs. But what if they offer a low settlement? What if there are unexplained delays? Or worse, what if your claim is denied? That's where Fauntleroy & Satmary, P.A. steps in to help.
Types of Wind Damage
Wind is a powerful and unpredictable force that can cause various types of damage, including:
- Roof Damage: Shingles torn off, leaks, or structural damage.
- Falling Branches and Trees: Trees or branches can fall onto your property, causing extensive damage.
- Broken and Blown Down Fences: High winds can break or blow down fences.
- Broken and Leaky Windows: Windows can be shattered or compromised, leading to leaks.
- Flying Debris: Debris carried by the wind can strike and damage your property.
After a windstorm, it's crucial to inspect your property thoroughly for damage. If you notice any issues, contact your insurance company and a contractor as soon as possible to assess and begin repairs. Some problems might not be visible immediately but can lead to serious complications later, such as water intrusion and structural damage.
Why Wind Damage Claims Get Denied
Insurance companies often underpay or deny wind damage claims. Some common reasons for denial include:
- Policy Exclusions: Certain types of damage might not be covered.
- Inadequate Documentation: Lack of proper evidence to support your claim.
- Delayed Filing: Failing to file your claim promptly.
- Pre-existing Conditions: The insurer might argue that the damage existed before the wind event.
