Insurance Claim Disputes Involving Water Damage
Over time, a home or property can suffer severe water damage due to the leakage of pipes or consistent rainfall. Although these damages are ruining the foundation of your property, insurance companies deny claims and often settle for less than what is required to properly repair damages.
At The Haynes Law Firm, located in Brandon, Florida, I help clients throughout Hillsborough County and Central Florida obtain compensation from insurance claims for water damage to their property. Since being admitted to practice in 1998, I have focused solely on insurance law. I can help you fully understand your insurance policy and will work to protect your rights when insurance companies deny your claim or act in bad faith.
Establishing a Strong Water Damage Claims
After submitting a claim for water damage, insurance companies will use a restoration contractor to review and repair your damages if you have coverage. Although there are certain guidelines that these contractors need to follow, they may overlook the severity of damages and incorrectly resolve water damage in your home or property. This can cause more problems later down the road and can lead to mold damage causing negative health effects. Furthermore, newer policies either limit or exclude mold damage altogether.
As your attorney, I have access to a resource of professional contractors who can properly evaluate the scope of repair and see that water damage gets repaired right the first time. I can also review your policy to determine if you have coverage for the loss you are experiencing. In these matters it is important to act quickly to prevent further damages and obtain a fair settlement from your insurance claim.
