Hurricane Ian has quickly proven to be one of the strongest storms to hit the western coast of Florida. As one of the strongest hurricanes ever to hit the U.S, Hurricane Ian flooded homes on both of Florida’s coasts, cut off the only bridge to a barrier island, destroyed a historic waterfront pier, and knocked out electricity to 2.67 million Florida homes and businesses. That’s nearly a quarter of the state’s utility customers. Damage to properties is yet to be determined as countless dollars in inventory, produce, and refrigerated food has spoiled. Now with a hurricane warning issued for the South Carolina coast where the storm is expected to again make landfall as a Category 1 storm, countless additional dollars in property damage are imminent.
It could take many months to determine the total cost of property damage Hurricane Ian caused.
WHY INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE SLOW DURING HURRICANES
Now that hurricane season is upon us, many insurance companies are in a state of crisis. There have been numerous flaws in laws and regulations and this has resulted in insurers being overrun by claims. Many insurers operate with little financial responsibility and oversight, which causes insurance premiums to skyrocket. This leaves many homeowners unable to find companies that are willing to insure their homes against damage. Now, combine that with the thousands of claims that are being filed for the damages this hurricane season, and you get a stagnant industry that is struggling to stay afloat. However, there’s no need to worry, you can depend on our team to assist you during your claim process, ensuring that you receive the highest settlement your policy or policies allow. We will represent you as your hurricane adjusters and negotiate with your insurer on your behalf.
