We Help Property Owners Recover What They Deserve
From downtown condos to waterfront homes, no property is immune to hurricane damage. Our team assists West Palm Beach residents and business owners after high winds, debris, and water intrusion disrupt their lives. We begin with a detailed review of your damage and policy, then create a legal strategy that protects your rights.
If your claim has been delayed, undervalued, or denied, we take over negotiations. If your business suffered financially, we pursue compensation for lost income and setbacks. And if the insurance company refuses to cooperate, we’re prepared to litigate.
Common Issues We Handle In West Palm Beach
Roof Damage from High Winds
Hurricane-force winds often tear off shingles or expose roof decking. Even less intense storms can cause structural issues that lead to long-term water damage. Many insurers attempt to minimize these losses.
Delayed or Denied Claims
After a storm, insurers may argue that damage was pre-existing or that notice was filed too late. We work to establish the facts, document the timeline, and hold them accountable.
Business Interruption and Financial Loss
Storms frequently force businesses to close their doors. Lost revenue, delayed operations, and unexpected expenses can add up quickly. We help owners pursue the compensation they need to recover.
Stay Prepared Long Before the Storm Hits
Hurricane season affects every part of life in West Palm Beach. Preparation involves more than securing your property. Knowing what your insurance policy covers, documenting the condition of your home or business, and having a legal plan in place are essential.
We assist clients year-round by reviewing their policies, identifying areas of concern, and preparing them to respond quickly if damage occurs. When the storm arrives, you should be focused on safety and recovery, not navigating claims on your own.
