New Port Richey Hurricane Claim Attorney

Whittel & Melton, LLC - 727-847-2299
Helping Pasco County Recover after a Devastating Storm

Florida hurricane season starts June 1 and continues through November 30. However, destructive wind, rain and thunder storms hit various parts of the state regularly throughout the year. Hurricanes, thunderstorms and high winds can cause sizable damage to residential and commercial properties. And in many circumstances, your claim after a storm can very possibly be undervalued, delayed or denied, even though as a home or property owner you put in your due diligence by maintaining good standing with your insurance company. When this happens, it is in your best interest to seek legal counsel from a hurricane and storm damage claims attorney who may be able to recover the compensation you are entitled to.

We fight aggressively to make sure that you obtain the maximum recovery for your claim as quickly as possible, whether you need assistance filing a new claim, evaluating a pending claim, reviewing a denied claim or even reopening a claim that was previously underpaid.

Florida hurricanes and storms have the potential to cause severe damage. Because of this, your hurricane and storm insurance should cover certain damages, including:

• Structural or Foundation Damage
• Roof Damage and Replacement of Shingles
• Window Leakage and Wood Frame Rotting
• Siding Damage and Improperly Installed Planks
• Destruction of Personal Property or Possessions (this includes furniture, appliances and other valuables)
• Relocation Costs (this applies when your home is unlivable because of needed repairs)

In many cases, insurance companies will delay a claim using the excuse that it is too difficult to determine when the damage actually occurred. In other cases, they may try and say the damaged structure is undamaged when in reality, it is unusable.

Despite whether the damage to your home or property is slight or severe, the Pasco County Hurricane & Storm Damage Claims Attorneys at Whittel & Melton can help you no matter what the circumstances are. Just because your insurance company offered sub-standard repairs in order to minimize the total value of your claim or even flat out denied your claim, this does not mean you have no means of protecting yourself. Let us help you level the playing field with your insurance company so that you can recover what you are rightfully entitled to under the law.

At Whittel & Melton, we offer free same day consultations and always accept hurricane and storm damage cases on a contingency fee basis. To put it another way, you owe us nothing unless we recover damages on your behalf. If your insurance company failed to follow exact procedures when evaluating or paying your claim, you may be the victim of a “Bad Faith” lawsuit, which could result in you being awarded additional compensation beyond what is listed in your insurance policy.
