Are you a homeowner in Estero whose property was damaged by a fire, storm, accident, or other disaster? If you have homeowners insurance, you should be able to rely on your policy to cover the costs of repairing or replacing your home and personal possessions. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, our Estero personal injury lawyer will review your claim and fight hard for the compensation you are entitled to recover.
Homeownership is a great joy and a greater responsibility. When you file a claim for covered losses, we will read and review your policy from cover to cover and ensure the insurer lives up to its financial responsibility. We will help you document your losses, file an appeal if your initial claim for coverage is denied, and ensure your insurer handles your claim in good faith.
Our Legal Team Will Make Sure Your Case Is Filed On Time
You have a limited time to act on your property damage claim. Our legal team will ensure your claim is filed within the allotted time. We also explain how to check your property for wind damage after a hurricane or other weather event in Estero and how to inventory and document your covered losses.
You should:
- Take photos and videos of your damaged property from various angles
- Create a detailed inventory of any interior and exterior damage
- Include damage to any involved outbuildings like garages and sheds
- Keep receipts that document any required emergency repairs
Do not delay this process, but do not rush through it, either. Accurately documenting your losses is a key part of your case. Our legal team will review your list and ensure it is comprehensive.

Be Mindful Of What You Say Or Post About Your Property Claim
Insurance companies often have their own bottom line — not your best interests — at heart when evaluating your claim. You can help protect yourself against any unfair or bad faith tactics you might experience in the following ways:
- Avoid making social media posts about your losses
- Avoid posting pictures on your social media accounts
- Do not accept or respond to unknown friend requests
- Do not make written statements or sign anything
At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we explain why you should avoid taking these actions since any statements you make verbally or in writing can be used against you at a later date. In addition, our Estero property claim lawyer makes sure you do not feel pressured to accept a speedy but flawed settlement.
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine Protects You From Bad Faith Tactics
Unfortunately, not all insurance companies handle all property damage claims fairly. If your insurer employs any bad faith tactics, we can take action against them.
According to Florida Statutes § 627.7142, your insurer is required to:
- Acknowledge receipt of your claim in writing within 14 days
- Make the decision to accept or reject your claim within 30 days
- Make compensation within 90 days of approving your claim
When we represent you, our goal is to ensure your property damage claim is handled fairly and you are appropriately compensated.
