Do you have a flood insurance policy? What does flood insurance cover? Has your flood insurance claim been denied? When your insurer delays, denies or underpays your flood damage claim, it’s critical to have an experienced Flood Damage Attorney representing your rights.
Florida has more than three times as many homes in flood hazard zones than any other state, FEMA estimates. Hurricanes, strong storms, and severe weather can cause tremendous flooding in the Sunshine State. With over a thousand miles of coastline, the most in the continental United States, Florida has roughly 2.5 million homes in hazard zones.
When your home or business is damaged by water, the damage – including structural damage, mud, toxicity, mold, loss of contents (vehicles, furniture, electronics, etc.) – can be devastating. You may also need to secure alternative living arrangements while your home or business property is repaired or replaced due to flood damage. The major risks of water damage after a period of heavy rain can involve leaking roofs or foundations, sinkholes, seal failure around windows, and oversaturation of adjacent soils.

Most insurance policies cover water damage, but they can exclude damage caused by “flood.” Even if you have flood insurance, your insurance company may try to deny the claim saying that the damage is not flood. Flooding is one type of natural disaster that isn’t covered by standard home insurance policies.
