Recovering After Hurricane Ian?
When a hurricane hits, you can either experience a little bit of rainfall or see entire communities ripped to shreds. No matter the extent of the damages caused by the storm at Morgan & Morgan, our hurricane attorneys know the ins and outs behind what you need to do in order to get your life back to normal. Below we’ve listed off what you should do after a hurricane hits your home in order to better prepare for your insurance claim:
- Take photos and keep a record of all damage: Take photos to show the extent of the damage the hurricane caused to your property. You will need to take pictures of everything, both inside and outside, as well as note any and all the damage you notice. You want full compensation for every single repair you’ll need to make, and for every item that has been lost or damaged.
- Place a tarp over your property to protect it from further damages: Unfortunately, if you do not cover your home or business after a storm hits, insurance companies may take advantage and try to claim that any damage found had occurred after the storm. In some cases, they may even try to claim that it was your fault. After a storm hits, check your insurance policy for your “Duties After Loss” responsibilities to better understand what exactly your insurance company expects you to do. This way you will not be held accountable for any of the property damage you’ve sustained.
- File your insurance claim as soon as you are able: Many insurance policies will require that you file a claim within a “reasonable amount of time,” which could typically mean within a week or two from when the hurricane hit your area. To ensure you are filing a claim at the proper time, you need to check your policy. However, regardless of what timeline your policy gives you, it is in your best interest to file the claim as soon as you have documented all the damage.
In some cases even if you have taken all of the proper steps to protect your home, insurance companies may try to deny you your claims. At Morgan & Morgan, we understand how insurance companies work when filing for an insurance claim after a storm, and we’ll work with you to ensure you get the help you need to rebuild your home or business.
