Need to File a Storm Damage Claim?
What’s Covered?
This question dives deep into several different areas. The first being dependent on the type of insurance you have. Some policies won’t cover flooding damage, but will cover a water leak. Make sure that the insurance coverage you choose, especially if you live in Florida, is going to account for flooding.
What Isn’t Covered?
There are going to be a few things that your insurance company might not cover, and that is any damage that occurs due to negligence. If you leave your appliances on during the storm that lead to a fire, your insurance company may not cover it.
Make sure you check your policy to see what types of damages are covered and what aren’t. If you have any questions, you can call Platinum Public Adjusters for a free consultation.
