Florida Windstorm Damage Underpaid — Final Settlement Increased to $35,721.50

Final Settlement: $35,721.50

Initial Incident

In Florida, storms often bring high winds capable of causing significant roof damage. Our insured experienced just that—high winds damaged their roof, leading to water intrusion inside the home.

When they needed their insurance company the most, the carrier fell short.

The Insurance Company’s Response

The insurance company issued a payment of $6,969.85, which:

• Wasn’t enough to cover the cost of roof replacement
• Failed to address the full extent of interior water damage
• Left the insured without the funds to restore their home properly

The amount offered wasn’t close to what was needed to return the property to pre-loss condition.

How We Helped

We took over the claim and immediately began a full reassessment of the damages. Our process included:

• Conducting a thorough inspection of both the roof and interior
• Writing a detailed estimate that accurately reflected the total scope of work
• Presenting our findings to the insurance carrier with documentation and policy references
• Negotiating directly to push for a proper settlement

The Final Result

Thanks to our efforts, the carrier issued a revised total payment of $35,721.50.

That’s a significant increase over the initial payout and enough for our client to fully restore their home.

Conclusion

Storm damage can be devastating—and it’s made worse when your insurance company underpays. We make sure that doesn’t happen. With expert representation, our client received the settlement they deserved.
