Tornado Claim Settlement: David M.
This is the story about how we manage a tornado claim settlement in Tallahassee. When David M. reached out to Florida’s Best Public Adjusters, he was affected by the aftermath of a tornado that had caused extensive wind and structural damage to his home.
His insurance company had just offered $1,043.26 after the deductible—an amount that was pretty low to cover the repairs needed. David has been paying his home insurance policy for years. After introducing the claim, he couldn’t believe what he got as compensation! At that moment he realized that he was into the game of the insurance carrier, where they were focused just to give you as little as possible.
I am Stephen Lippy, CEO and Founder of Florida’s Best Public Adjusters; we specialize in helping policyholders navigate and maximize their claims. With years of experience handling tornado-related insurance claims in Tallahassee, we immediately got to work to ensure David received a fair settlement.
Our Process: Fighting for David and his Tornado Claim in Tallahassee
When David contacted us, it was clear his claim had been underpaid. Our first step was a comprehensive property inspection to assess the true extent of the damage. During our investigation, we uncovered significant issues that the insurance adjusters had overlooked, including:
- Severe structural damage to the roof.
- Evidence of wind-driven rain causing internal property damage.
- Additional hidden damage requires immediate attention.
We meticulously documented everything, compiling high-resolution photographs, detailed repair estimates, and a comprehensive report to present a strong case. With this evidence, we reopened David’s claim and challenged the initial settlement offer.
Negotiation and Advocacy
Insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line over their policyholders. However, at Florida’s Best Public Adjusters, we pride ourselves on fighting for our clients.
For David’s claim, we entered into strategic negotiations, presenting our findings and advocating during mediation.
In the end, our efforts paid off. We secured an additional payout of $36,000, bringing David’s total settlement to $37,043.26. This result not only allowed David to repair his home but also helped him move forward after the storm.
