Coral Gables Property Damage Lawyers
If your property is damaged in the wake of an unforeseen catastrophe or natural disaster – whether it was as big as a hurricane or started as small as an undetected roof or plumbing leak – it is essential to file your property damage claim as soon as possible after a home damage event. Waiting too long to communicate with your insurance company can lead to claim denials or reduced claim payments.
If your home has suffered damage and you need to file a claim:
- Photograph all home damage and damaged property and create a comprehensive list
- Find receipts or proof of purchase for as much of your damaged property as possible
- Keep detailed notes on all communications with the insurance company, including the names of people you talk to as well as the dates of conversations
- If you believe your claim is being undervalued, don’t hesitate to contact an independent adjuster, trusted local contractor or a property damage attorney in Coral Gables
Common Types of Property Damage Cases
- Natural Disasters: Florida is infamous for being a prime environment for natural disasters, including hurricanes, flooding, lightning and tornadoes – all of which can cause extensive property damage. If your home was damaged by a hurricane or other natural disaster, Kanner & Pintaluga can help you with every step of your claim, including coverage disputes and property damage assessments.
- Storm Damage: Unfortunately, named storms like hurricanes and tropical storms, hail, wind and lightning strikes are not uncommon in the state of Florida. They pose a substantial risk to your home. If your home or car is damaged by a storm, Kanner & Pintaluga will provide you with aggressive representation. Our property damage lawyers will work hard to get your fair compensation.
- Water Damage: Water damage can occur due to a variety of reasons, from plumbing issues and roof leaks to flooding. The aftermath can result in significant structural damage, destruction of personal belongings and mold growth (which isn’t typically covered by homeowner’s insurance). There may be disputes between yourself, your flood insurance company and your homeowners’ insurance provider, with fingers being pointed in all directions. We can help clear up confusion and pursue the full compensation to which you should be entitled.
- Fire and Smoke Damage: Fires can have calamitous consequences, not just risking your property but your personal belongings as well. Our team is experienced in fire and smoke damage claims and will help assess the cause and origin of the fire, evaluate your insurance coverage and advocate for a fair settlement that properly compensates you for what you’ve lost.
- Construction Defects: Construction defects encompass a wide range of issues – including faulty design, substandard materials and poor workmanship – all of which can have disastrous consequences for your home. Common examples include structural problems and water intrusion. Our property damage lawyers have a thorough understanding of Coral Gables’ construction laws and regulations and will help you analyze the contracts involved, assess liability and pursue possible claims against contractors, developers and other responsible parties.
- Vandalism and Property Crimes: An unforeseen incident isn’t always an accident. Property damage can also result from intentional acts, such as vandalism or property crimes.
- Mold Damage: Mold growth can happen as a result of water damage, high humidity levels or poor ventilation. The consequences of mold growth are severe, as it can invoke various health issues for you and your family as well as cause serious structural damage to your home if neglected. Having mold remediation paid for by insurance isn’t always easy. With most policies, it will be necessary to prove the mold was a direct result of a named peril in your policy. If you have a mold dispute with your insurer, a call to Kanner & Pintaluga may help.
Types of Compensation for Property Damage Claims in Coral Gables
When pursuing a property damage claim, it is crucial to seek appropriate compensation for the losses incurred. Our experienced legal experts will help guide you through the potential types of compensation available in property damage cases, such as:
- Property Repair or Replacement Costs: One of the main objectives when negotiating for compensation is to arrive at a number that accounts for repairing or replacing your damaged property. This typically involves structural repairs, fixing damaged systems (such as electrical or plumbing), replacing personal belongings and restoring the property to its pre-damaged condition.
- Additional Living Expenses: If a property is damaged to the point that it’s unsafe to return to or reside in the property, individuals or businesses may also be able to seek additional living expenses as part of their compensation. This compensation will help them recoup the costs of living in a hotel, rental or other types of temporary housing until the property is fully repaired. They can usually also get additional compensation for food, supplies or other expenses you only incurred because you couldn’t return to your home.
- Loss of Use: Depending on the circumstances of your case, you might be able to seek compensation for not being able to use your property during the repair period. The inconvenience and financial hardships caused by one’s inability to utilize the property for its intended purpose (especially business property) may also be accounted for in the settlement.
