Filing an insurance claim after a storm can be overwhelming, but following these steps can help streamline the process:

1. Document the Damage

Take photos and videos: Capture the damage from multiple angles, both inside and outside your property.
Create a detailed inventory: List damaged or lost items, including descriptions, purchase dates, and receipts if possible.
Secure your property: Take temporary measures to prevent further damage, like covering broken windows or tarping a damaged roof. Keep receipts for these expenses.

2. Contact Your Insurance Company

Report the claim promptly: Most insurance policies require you to report claims within a specific timeframe.
Provide necessary information: Be prepared to share details about the storm, the extent of the damage, and your policy information.
Keep records: Note the date, time, and name of the person you spoke with.

3. Cooperate with the Insurance Adjuster

Schedule an inspection: The insurance company will send an adjuster to assess the damage.
Be present during the inspection: Provide detailed information about the damage and answer the adjuster’s questions honestly.
Review the adjuster’s report: Carefully review the report for accuracy and completeness. Contact us to review it with you.

4. Understand Your Coverage

Review your policy: Familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of your insurance policy, including deductibles, coverage limits, and exclusions.
Seek clarification: If you have questions about your coverage, contact your insurance agent or company.

5. Provide Required Documentation

Gather supporting documents: Prepare any additional documents requested by the insurance company, such as receipts, repair estimates, or photographs.
Submit documents promptly: To avoid delays in the claims process, submit required documents as soon as possible.

Additional Tips

Keep copies of all correspondence: Maintain copies of all communication with the insurance company, including emails, letters, and phone records.
Hire a public adjuster: Florida Claims Pro is a licensed professional who can help you navigate the claims process and maximize your settlement.
Be patient: The claims process can take time, especially after a major storm.

Remember: Every insurance company has its own procedures, so following their specific guidelines is essential. If you encounter difficulties or feel your claim is not being handled fairly, consider consulting with an attorney who specializes in insurance law.
