Common Forms of Property Damage Claims

Property damage can come in many different shapes and sizes. However, each form can come with repair expenses or losses. When you suffer property damage and carry secure property damage insurance, you have the right to file a claim to recover maximum compensation. Unfortunately, some insurance companies will act in bad faith and delay, dispute, or even deny your claim for no good reason. In these situations, an insurance litigation lawyer can help.

At The Law Offices of John D. Ameen, P.A., we have helped countless clients recover their losses after suffering damage to their Fort Lauderdale property. The most common forms of property damage claims we have engaged in over the years include the following:

• Water Damage: Water can cause significant damage to properties. Whether due to a rainstorm, a hurricane, or even a burst pipe, water can seep into the structure of your property and cause rot, mold, and infrastructure issues. To avoid the damage only becoming worse, it is wise to file a property damage claim with your insurance provider as soon as possible following the damage.
• Fire Damage: Experiencing a fire on your property can be a frightening and traumatic experience. It can happen at no fault to the property owner. A fire could be caused by things such as animal damage, wiring, or wildfires.

In these situations, you deserve legal support to help guide you through filing a fire damage claim and ensure that the insurance companies provide the necessary repairs or replacements as laid out in your policy.

• Burst Pipe Damage: When a pipe bursts in your Fort Lauderdale property, it can cause immense amounts of damage, some even unseen. In these cases, the attorneys at The Law Offices of John D. Ameen, P.A. can help you file your claim to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve, including the coverage of all repairs or necessary replacements to your property.
• Smoke Damage: When your property suffers fire damage, it most likely will also sustain smoke damage. These kinds of property damage claims can be tricky, and it is wise to bring on an attorney who can hold the insurance companies to their promises for compensation, including coverage for any necessary cleaning, personal discomfort, or devaluation of the property.
• Mold Damage: When a house suffers any form of water damage, such as a leaky roof, natural disaster, or issues with indoor plumbing, it can result in mold. Sometimes, mold can grow in areas not visible to the eye, which can cause it to worsen and lead to health issues for the residents. At The Law Offices of John D. Ameen, P.A., we work to fight for the coverage you are entitled to for mold removal and restoration.
• Roof Leak Damage: Roof leaks can happen for a variety of reasons, all outside of your control. When these situations occur, they can cause immense amounts of stress for the property owner, not to mention widespread damage to the property. Further, leaking roofs can cause mold damage to the infrastructure of the property. In these cases, you deserve to have your insurance company follow through on their promises and we can help.
• Theft and Vandalism: If you have suffered property damage due to the criminal acts of another party, such as vandalism or theft, the attorneys at The Law Offices of John D. Ameen, P.A. can help you pursue a legal claim for compensation that covers the costs of any needed property repairs, property loss, or enhancements in your security to keep similar events from happening again in the future.
• Negligence Damage: If you have suffered property damage due to the negligent behavior of another party, such as a general contractor or construction company, our legal team can help you file a claim and hold the negligent parties liable for the damage and subsequent losses they have caused.
• Natural Disaster Claims: Florida is known for its hurricane season. Our legal team is very familiar with these kinds of property damage claims and can ensure that you are compensated for the damage your property suffers in the event of a flood, earthquake, or hurricane. We can work to ensure you gain recovery costs, property repairs, and any lost income related to the natural disaster.

Understanding Wrongful Insurance Company Tactics

While your property damage or theft insurance company may have promised broad coverage for your losses, most of them try to pay as little for a claim as possible. In fact, many of these organizations will not pay out at all. If they do pay anything, they will put you through months of waiting and complicated legal maneuvers before you can collect your rightful compensation.

Let one of our Fort Lauderdale property damage and theft insurance lawyers help. Insurance companies that do not compensate you fairly for your stolen or damaged goods are violating the contract that you signed before the theft occurred. This tactic may make good business sense for the insurance company in question, but it is illegal. You need to talk with a legal professional who has vast experience dealing with insurance companies.
