How We Can Help with Your Tampa Storm Loss Property Claim
After a storm passes, you may find your insurance company is dragging its feet or claiming it will not cover specific portions of your damages. You have paid for coverage, so the insurance company cannot just refuse to pay. You have rights under the Florida Homeowner Claims Bill of Rights.
Our law firm understands Tampa storm damage claim laws and is dedicated to recovering the compensation you deserve based on your insurance policy. We can help you navigate the unique challenges these cases present.
Our team can:
Review Your Coverage
You want to recover the damages you were promised, no more and no less. Our first step is to review your property insurance. This will help us understand what your covered losses are. We may also look for other policies to cover additional damages, such as car insurance or riders to your primary policy.
Collect Evidence to Support Your Claim
Next, we start collecting evidence, such as:
- Receipts
- Photographs of the property
- Quotes from contractors
- A report from an independent adjuster
This will help us estimate your total damages and prove why you deserve to recover your covered losses.
File a Storm Damage Claim on Your Behalf
Once we have gathered evidence, we fill out the paperwork to file your claim with the insurance company. If requested, we will provide additional proof or paperwork.
Negotiate to Recover Fair Compensation
In many cases, we can negotiate with the insurance company to recover your covered losses. The insurer knows we are not afraid to take your claim to court.
Protect Your Rights
Throughout the legal process, our team will:
- Keep you updated on the progress of your Tampa storm damage claim
- Ensure your claim meets all deadlines
- Guard your right to recover compensation
You could have had insurance coverage for years. Now that you are in a position to file a claim, you should receive the help you pay for through your property insurance policy. We can help hold your property insurance company accountable.
With us by your side, you can focus on getting your family back to normal instead of worrying about paperwork and insurance adjusters. Let us help you get back on track after a storm.
Damages You May Recover in a Tampa Storm Loss Property Claim
Property claim values vary based on several factors, including:
- The deductible on your plan
- The severity of the damage
- The cause of the damage
- Other details in your policy
For example, some homeowners insurance plans do not cover flood damage but cover wind-driven rain damage. Alternatively, you may have to pay an additional deductible for property damage caused by a hurricane. These details can vary, so you should have your plan reviewed by a storm loss property claim lawyer.
In many cases, property insurance will cover the following types of damages:
- Repair costs for a damaged roof, windows, etc.
- Cleanup costs, including debris and tree removal
- Landscaping replacement
- Installation of tarps or boarding up windows
- Personal property replacement, including clothes, furniture, and appliances
- Relocation costs, such as hotel fees and food

Affording to Pay for a Property Damage Lawyer
Our firm operates on a payment structure called “contingency.” This is relevant to you in that we will not ask you to pay us up front. Our fee comes out of the settlement we secure for you. We will fight for your covered losses and our award.
We can even cover your court costs and filing fees if these are required in your case. Your award would also pay for these at the end of the case. You do not have the savings set aside at the beginning of the case to pay us. There is nothing to lose when you hire us. Our fee is at stake in your case, so we are inclined to offer all of our resources.
