Hurricane Damage

Storm and Hurricane Insurance Adjuster Services - Insurance Claims

If you live in South Florida, having hurricane insurance is vital. Since recording began in 1851, there have been 97 major hurricanes in the United States, 40% of which have made landfall in Florida.

Even when hurricanes don’t make landfall, high winds and flooding can result in millions of dollars of damage to private property. Sadly some insurance companies attempt to limit coverage settlement amounts.

 At Fast Public Adjusters, we make sure that you receive the maximum settlement possible from South Florida home insurers. To do this, we fairly asses the scope of damage to your property. We then make sure that insurers abide by their obligations to compensate you fairly for the real cost of property repairs

  • After a hurricane has abated, remove any wet contents from your home to reduce the risk of toxic mold outbreaks.
  • List all damaged or lost items along with purchase date and value and attach receipts.
  • As soon as it is safe to do so, make sure to photograph and video document all damage to your property.
  • If it is safe to enter your home, begin listing lost or damaged items. Make sure to also record the value of items, the time you purchased items, and gather together any purchase receipts.
  • Locate and secure your current home insurance policy.
  • Before using any water in your home for drinking, bathing, or cooking, make sure to confirm that doing so is safe with authorities.

What Does Hurricane Insurance Typically Cover?

In the event of a hurricane, what is covered by your home insurer will depend on what provisions are outlined in your current home insurance policy.

This being the case, it is in your interest to invest in insurance that explicitly covers everything from flooding to major structural damage.

  • Hurricanes often result in flooding and the backing up of local sewer lines.
  • A home insurance policy should always provide coverage for mold outbreaks resulting from flooding.
  • Severe storms can cause major structural damage to properties.
  • Hurricanes can result in electrical fires and gas leaks. However, homeowners should always take reasonable steps to prevent fire damage, by turning off circuit breakers in advance of hurricanes.

Have you been affected by a recent hurricane? If so, the sooner you reach out to our team at Fast Public Adjusters, the faster we can secure a settlement you deserve.
