If your Miami or South Florida home sustained hurricane damage, your insurance company has an obligation to settle any insurance claims you file in good faith. If your insurance company denies your claim for covered losses after a natural disaster, a Miami property claim lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can help hold them accountable. We may be able to compel the insurer to resolve your claim and help you recover the compensation you deserve.
We can identify all the damages your home suffered, whether it is roof damage, water damage, structural damage, wind damage, or some other type of damage and fight to get you every dime you deserve. When insurers act in bad faith, we do not take this lightly. Your insurance adjuster is supposed to protect you from paying out of pocket for damages, but if you find that they are playing games, you need an experienced attorney to protect you from your insurer’s bad faith practices.
