The skilled and experienced attorneys at Vargas Gonzalez Delombard can assess the extent of the damage, file a claim against the insurance company, and litigate the case in court.
Certain geographical locations make them vulnerable to hurricanes, tropical storms, and other severe weather events. These can result in extensive property damage, ranging from roof damage and broken windows to more severe structural problems and flooding. Secondary issues such as mold, electrical hazards, and weakened building integrity contribute to the initial damage. For example, a hurricane can cause significant roof damage, leading to water leaks and mold growth, further weakening the building's structure.
Tornadoes are a frequent and destructive natural phenomenon in many areas, leading to significant damage and expensive repairs. The aftermath of these violent storms often involves complex insurance claims and legal disputes. An experienced tornado damage attorney from the Vargas Gonzalez Delombard Law Firm can provide you with the necessary insight to secure adequate compensation. Our team is dedicated to overcoming insurance barriers to ensure you receive fair treatment after facing damages you cannot afford. We have represented clients in cases involving severe roof damage, structural issues, and total property destruction, securing the compensation they deserved.
The first step in the recovery process is filing a claim with your insurance company. It's essential not to delay, as insurers and state law often have deadlines. When filing, provide all necessary documentation and follow the insurer’s guidelines to avoid delays.
In each state, you have a timeline in which to file for property damage with the insurance company if the claim involves a hurricane. The statute of limitations begins when the hurricane makes landfall. You can file a supplemental request or lawsuit if the insurer denies the claim.
Supplemental claims are those made after the initial claim is adjusted. In such cases, the initial claim may have missed damages. If you believe your initial claim did not cover the extent of your property damage, you can file a supplemental claim within a specified time period from when the hurricane occurred. You must provide additional evidence of the damages, such as new photographs or repair estimates. A supplemental claim allows you to seek further compensation for damages not accounted for.
