Understanding Hurricane Insurance in Florida
Standard hurricane insurance usually covers wind-related damage, such as broken windows, roof destruction, or structural issues caused by high winds and debris in the aftermath of a hurricane.
However, many homeowners are surprised to learn that flood damage—typically caused by storm surges or heavy rain— is not included under standard homeowner policies. For flood-related claims, you’ll need separate flood insurance through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
After a hurricane, it’s essential to file your claim promptly. Our team can assist you in documenting the damage thoroughly, ensuring all necessary information is provided to your insurer. We’ll work to prevent delays or underpayment in your claim, advocating for a fair settlement so you can focus on recovery.

Steps to Take After a Hurricane Hits
After a hurricane, the immediate aftermath can be stressful and overwhelming. Ensuring the safety of your family is the top priority, but once it’s safe, it’s crucial to take steps that will support your insurance claim and protect your property from further damage.
- Assess the damage safely: Once it’s safe to do so, inspect your property carefully for damage. Document everything with photos and videos, focusing on major damage like roof destruction, broken windows, and interior flooding.
- File your insurance claim promptly: Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage. Provide them with the documentation you gathered, and be clear and specific about the extent of the damage.
- Keep records of repairs and expenses: If you need to make temporary repairs to prevent further damage, keep all receipts for materials and labor. Additionally, save receipts for expenses related to alternative living arrangements or other emergency costs. These expenses can often be included in your claim.
- Consult with a lawyer for claim assistance: If your claim is delayed, underpaid, or denied, consulting with a lawyer can help protect your rights. Insurance companies may minimize payouts, and having legal representation ensures you receive the maximum compensation.
By following these steps, you can manage the post-hurricane recovery process more easily. Our lawyers are here to help, from managing the paperwork to fighting for a fair settlement so you can focus on rebuilding your life.
