What Losses Can I Request In A Fort Myers Hurricane Claim?
You may have a lot of damage to your home and many losses. However, you can request them all in your claim. First, you or a lawyer from our firm should determine what your homeowner insurance policy covers.
Your policy may or may not cover any hurricane damage and/or flood damage. If not, you may have such coverage in separate policies. If your policy covers hurricane and flood damage, this coverage may be called “hurricane protection” and “flood protection” in your policy, and you may have deductibles, which you must pay before your insurer pays.
Your policy may or may not cover any of the following:
- Water damage
- Wind damage or other damage to your home, such as its doors, roof, and windows
- Damage to fencing, a shed, and/or a garage
- Damage to the structural foundation of your home
- Personal property losses
- Debris cleaning costs for items around your home
- The cost of a hotel stay or relocation

Need Legal Help? Here’s What Our Lawyers Do For Fort Myers Hurricane Claims
You may have trouble recovering all your losses if you can’t establish them with your insurer. You may have even more trouble if your insurer uses any tactics to avoid accountability or diminish your case. For example, the insurer could:
- Claim certain damage to your home that was present before the hurricane, so this absolves the insurer from covering that damage
- Claim damage was caused by flooding, so this absolves the insurer
- Falsely claim your policy doesn’t cover certain damage
- Saying your losses aren’t as significant as you say they are
- Saying you don’t have sufficient proof of your losses
A Fort Myers hurricane claim lawyer from our firm can address any of those claims, regardless of whether any are legitimate. If a claim is legitimate, your lawyer can help you prepare an improved insurance claim, or if a claim isn’t legitimate, your lawyer can appeal for you.
