Frequent Insurance Claim Issues in Cape Coral
Flood-Related Structural Damage
Heavy rain and storm surge often cause flooding in lower levels, garages, and foundations. Insurers may attempt to separate water damage from covered storm damage to limit payouts.
Roof and Exterior Damage from Wind
Wind gusts can dislodge shingles, damage siding, and compromise roofing systems. If the damage is not visible, insurers may claim it is unrelated or not significant enough to warrant repairs.
Disputes Over Business Interruption Coverage
Businesses in Cape Coral face real financial consequences when storms force them to close. Insurance companies may argue over timelines or attempt to reduce the scope of coverage. We work to make sure none of that goes unchallenged.
Preparing for Storm Season in Cape Coral
Hurricane season should not come as a surprise. Property owners in Cape Coral benefit from having a plan in place before the first storm warning. That means reviewing your policy, documenting the current state of your property, and knowing who to call if the insurer refuses to cooperate.
Cernitz Law helps clients understand their coverage and prepares them to act when damage occurs. This preparation helps strengthen your position from the very beginning of the claim.
