Hurricane Damage Attorney in Miami, FL
Miami is no stranger to hurricane damage, but after the storm passes, it’s not the wind you have to worry about. It’s the insurance company. At Cernitz Law, we used to represent those insurers. Now? We use everything we learned against them to help homeowners and businesses recover what they’re truly owed.

Hurricane Headaches We See in Miami
Wind Uplift Damage in Coastal Homes
Even moderate windstorms can cause roof damage. Insurance companies may try to classify this as routine wear and tear to avoid paying. We know better and we push back.
Claims Denied Due to ‘Late Reporting’
From Brickell high-rises to Kendall ranch homes, insurers often deny claims if not filed right away, even if the damage wasn’t visible at first. We fight back with facts and timelines.
Lowball Offers That Don’t Cover Repairs
When serious storm damage occurs, some insurance companies respond with offers that fall far short of what’s needed. We know these tactics and we take action to ensure you’re not left paying out of pocket for damage your policy should cover.
Planning Ahead Is the Best Defense Against Hurricanes
In Miami, hurricane preparedness means more than boarding up windows. Smart property owners document their assets, review policies, and have an attorney on speed dial before a storm hits.
We work with clients year-round to review insurance policies, identify risk exposures, and create a plan of action in case disaster strikes. So, if the skies turn, you’ll be ready.
