Abogados de daños a la propiedad en Boca Ratón

Most home and business owners in Boca Raton have dutifully paid their insurance premiums for decades. The majority have likely never had to file a large claim. You might assume being a policyholder in good standing has earned you a modicum of goodwill and entitles you to fair treatment. Unfortunately, many claim filers feel like the opposite is the case based on their experience with the insurance company. If you’re disheartened and frustrated with how your property damage claim is being treated, it may be time to consult with a local property damage attorney.

How the Insurance Company Views Your Property Damage Claim

Despite what their advertising may suggest, insurance companies are not always on your side when you file a property damage claim. This is because insurance companies are businesses first and foremost. Their goal is to protect their bottom line, which often means reducing claim payouts whenever possible. They may undervalue your loss, deny your claim or delay payout, leaving you with a financial burden that can be difficult to handle.

Are Attorneys Necessary When You File a Property Damage Claim?

Simply needing to file a property damage claim doesn’t justify calling a property damage lawyer. For most filers, it only becomes necessary to consult with a lawyer when they believe they’re being treated unfairly, or their claim is of particularly high value. Situations where you might want to call a Boca Raton property damage lawyer may include:

  • Total Home Losses: Fires, hurricanes or other events can sometimes destroy a home completely. The costs associated with rebuilding can be substantial. Total losses can become complicated, especially if the insurance company is alleging you were underinsured for a total loss. This is particularly common after Florida hurricanes.
  • Hurricane Damage Claims: In Florida, hurricane damage claims are common and can involve complex factors like water damage from flooding versus incidental water damage as a result of wind damage.
  • High-Value Personal Property: This includes claims for loss of valuable items like antiques, artwork or other unique and costly personal possessions. There can sometimes be disputes over things like valuation.
  • Claims Against Construction Defects: Poorly performed construction can lead to significant property damage. A variety of factors can contribute to these claims being disputed or underpaid.

Why Insurance Companies Undervalue or Deny Claims

  • 1. Claim Under Investigation: The insurance company may delay payment by stating the claim is still under investigation.
  • 2. Disputes Over Policy Coverage: The company may argue that your policy doesn't cover the type of damage incurred.
  • 3. Undervaluing Property: They may underestimate the worth of your property or the cost of repairing it.
  • 4. Pre-Existing Damage: The insurer might claim that the damage was pre-existing or resulted from lack of maintenance.

Steps to Take After Serious Property Damage

  • 1. Ensure Safety: Make sure everyone is safe and away from immediate danger. Also be careful when investigating damage, as fires or hurricanes can make your home structurally unsound and pose severe injury risks.
  • 2. Report to Authorities: In case of theft or vandalism, report to the police. For natural disasters, heed the instructions of local authorities on things like when it’s safe to return home.
  • 3. Contact Your Insurance Company: Notify your insurer as soon as possible. Keep a record of all communication (including the names of adjusters and managers, dates and times of all conversations).
  • 4. Document the Damage: Take photographs and videos of the damage from various angles. This evidence is critical for your claim. Avoid throwing out any damaged property until it can be documented.
  • 5. Keep Track of Expenses: Keep receipts of all expenses related to the damage, including living expenses if you must relocate temporarily.
  • 6. Consult with an Attorney: If you face pushback from your insurer, or if your claim is substantial, it may be in your interest to consult with an experienced Boca Raton property damage attorney.

5/5
Cuando un conductor sin seguro chocó contra la parte delantera de mi nuevo Range Rover, ¡me enfermé! No sólo por el dolor en mi cuerpo sino también por el dolor de tener un accidente. ¡Este fue mi primer accidente y no sabía qué hacer! Mi hermano me sugirió que llamara a una línea directa 800 y lo hice de mala gana. ¡ESTOY TAN ALEGRE DE HABER HECHO ESA LLAMADA! Mi abogado, Bill, fue muy servicial y conocedor. La fisioterapia fue increíble. Y cuando llegó el momento de cerrar mi caso, ¡José Hernández fue INCREÍBLE! Gracias a todos en K&P por convertir una experiencia traumática en un proceso soportable.
