Are You Getting the Support You Need After Hurricane Debby?

Updated: Nov 21, 2024

Hurricane Debby affected thousands of homes and businesses in Florida. At this difficult time, homeowners must deal with significant damage to their property while also dealing with the complicated process of filing insurance claims. But a key question arises: are you getting the right support from your insurer to recover?


Here's how to make sure you get the support you need at this critical time:




1. Complete Damage Assessment


One of the first steps after a hurricane is to assess the damage to your property. However, many times homeowners may overlook hidden damage that could cause long-term problems, such as water leaks that will eventually lead to mold or structural problems. If the damage assessment has not been thorough, you could be at risk of receiving less compensation than you really need. You should know that you have one year to file an insurance claim, if you realize you have damages right now, you are on time, we can help you.


Tip: Trust professionals to represent you, such as a Public Adjuster Firm. At Trust Claims Consultants, we specialize in making sure all damages are accurately identified and documented to maximize your claim.


2. The Claims Process is Exhausting


Filing an insurance claim after a hurricane is not an easy process. From gathering documentation to dealing with insurance adjusters, it can be exhausting and frustrating. In addition, some insurers may try to minimize the value of claims or delay payments.


Tip: If you feel the claims process is taking longer than necessary or you're not getting clear answers, it's time to seek professional help. Trust Claims Consultants will ensure that your claim moves forward quickly, without unnecessary hurdles, and that you get fair and timely compensation.


3. Negotiations with Insurance Companies


On many occasions, insurers offer a lower amount than you actually need to cover all the damages. This is especially common when the owner is inexperienced in claims negotiation. Accepting the first offer the insurer makes you may mean that you are unable to make full repairs to the property or put additional money out of pocket to make repairs.


Tip: Don't settle for less than you deserve. With Trust Claims Consultants, you have an expert team negotiating on your behalf to get you full compensation for your losses. We know how to handle insurance company tactics and fight to get you what you're entitled to.


4. Full Policy Coverage


Do you really know what your insurance policy covers? Many homeowners discover, after the hurricane, that their coverage is limited or does not include important items such as flooding or the full replacement cost of damaged property. This can lead to unpleasant surprises when you try to repair or rebuild your property.


Tip: If you find yourself in this situation, Trust Claims Consultants can review your policy and explore all options to maximize your claim. Even if your policy has limitations, we can help you identify other available resources.


Conclusion:

Recovering from a hurricane like Debby is a long and challenging process, but you don't have to do it alone.
