Hurricane Michael

Let Our Florida Insurance Claim Lawyers Help You Today

Hurricane Michael is considered the third most powerful storm to ever strike the United States, making landfall in Mexico Beach, FL in early October. The Category 4 hurricane sustained winds of 155 miles per hour at landfall and gusts of 130 mph, ripping through coastal and inland communities, obliterating buildings, uprooting roads, and causing power outages that left almost 700,000 homes and businesses without electricity. The hurricane caused at least 35 fatalities and millions of dollars in damage in counties throughout Florida.

Many residents in these communities will be filing property damage claims with their insurers. Unfortunately, insurance companies do their best to pay the least amount owed on each claim—or nothing at all—to maintain their profit margin, footing the bill to victims.

At Stabinski Law, we are dedicated to helping Florida residents obtain the compensation they deserve. Since our Florida insurance claim lawyers have secured more than $500 million on behalf of our clients, we understand what it takes to get the most favorable results.

How to Handle Your Hurricane Michael Insurance Claim

The following are the proper steps to take to ensure you recover all the compensation available under your insurance policy:

• Notify your insurance company or insurance agent
• Read the fine print of your policy to follow the necessary procedure to file a valid insurance claim
• Document the damage by taking photos or videos
• Create an inventory of the damages
• Prevent any further damage and ensure safety
• Take notes for every visit from insurance adjusters and every type of communications (i.e. letters, e-mails, telephone calls, etc.)
• Save all receipts from any repair expenses

What to Do if Your Claim Is Denied

While many people believe their insurance company has their back when disaster strikes, it is not always the case. Since insurers are devoted to making a profit, they often try to find ways to either deny or reduce the amount of your entitled compensation.

Our experienced insurance claim lawyers have protected the rights and best interests of countless clients who have experienced claim denials. We understand the complexities of the system and can guide you through the claims process to help you make the repairs necessary to rebuild your home and your life.
