Property Damage Claims

One of the reasons Florida is an appealing destination for people to live and visit is due to the fact that it is surrounded by water, with hundreds of miles of beautiful shorelines and beaches. Unfortunately, that also means that the entire state is susceptible to hurricanes and tropical storms, which could lead to devastating property damage to your home. If that unfortunate scenario becomes a reality, you can file a claim with your property insurance 

Property insurance allows a homeowner to recover for damages caused by natural disasters; however, not all insurance policies are created equal, and there are several factors at play in determining how much – if any – coverage you will obtain. Regardless of the type of damage sustained and the insurance company you have a policy with, you are required to prevent the damage from getting worse; retain the damaged part (such as a broken pipe) to allow your insurance company an opportunity to inspect it; and promptly report the loss to your insurance 

Ideally, the insurance company is supposed to pay you the cost necessary to repair, rebuild, or replace the damaged property to bring your property back to “pre-loss” condition; however, that doesn’t always happen. That’s where the Gelber Law Group steps in! The Gelber Law Group attorneys are experienced with all types of scenarios, and can walk you through the claims and/or litigation process.
