Legal Support for Property Owners After a Hurricane
While Orlando isn’t on the coast, hurricanes and tropical storms still bring heavy rain, high winds, and property damage across the city. From College Park to Lake Nona, homeowners and businesses often struggle to get the compensation they are owed after the storm passes.
Our attorneys begin with a review of your insurance policy and a complete assessment of your damage. We gather documentation, manage all communication with the insurance company, and pursue litigation when necessary. If your business has been forced to close or operate at a loss, we also pursue claims for income disruption, equipment loss, and repairs.
Common Claim Issues We See in Orlando
Wind Damage and Roof Failure
High winds can damage shingles, remove flashing, or compromise entire sections of the roof. Insurers may dispute the cause or argue that repairs are not covered.
Water Damage From Rain
Interior damage from water leaks is often discovered after the storm. Insurers sometimes argue that these losses are unrelated to the event, or they attempt to limit what they’ll pay.
Slow Response and Low Settlement Offers
Property owners in Orlando often report long delays, incomplete inspections, or offers that don’t come close to covering the cost of repairs. We take over the process when the insurer is not responding fairly.
Preparing for the Next Storm Starts Early
Storm season is a regular part of life in Orlando. Getting ahead of it requires more than stocking supplies. Property owners should know what their insurance covers, keep documentation of their home or business, and understand the steps to take after damage occurs.
We help clients prepare before problems begin. Reviewing your policy in advance and knowing how to respond after a storm gives you a stronger position if the insurance company doesn’t handle the claim properly.

- Your claim was denied or you received a low settlement
- Your insurance company has delayed the process or stopped communicating
- You’re unsure what your policy covers
- Your business has suffered financially after storm-related closure
- You believe the damage is being undervalued or misclassified
