Help for Commercial and Residential Properties Damaged by Hurricane Helene

This year, throughout the United States but especially on the Eastern seaboard, there have been a number of “Once in a 100-1,000 years” storms. That is cold comfort for everyone whose properties and lives are being impacted by nature’s fury. In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, with property losses estimated by Moody’s at $34 billion, and the economic impacts up to $110 billion, insurance carriers are being inundated by hurricane damage claims, flood damage claims, wind damage claims, and property damage claims, submitted by owners of commercial and residential properties. For homeowners, commercial property owners, landlords, Homeowners’ Associations, among others, now, perhaps more than at any other time, you need someone by your side. You need a team of seasoned professionals who will provide expert guidance, oversee your entire claims process, assist you to find suitable temporary housing and/or a business address, and to bring about a desired outcome as swiftly as possible. That team is United Public Adjusters & Appraisers (UPA), a leading public adjuster firm with thousands of successful settlements for individuals and companies faced with sudden and major property damage and losses.

Within hours of the storm subsiding, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA, had set up outposts in many communities. However, you cannot rely on FEMA’s assistance to fully cover your needs, as it does not provide money for your expenses that are covered by insurance or by duplicate benefits from any other source. And, even if you carry flood insurance, there are limitations that may not cover the restoration of your home and/or business premises. For example, standard flood coverage policies have a ceiling of $250K for residential, and $500K for commercial properties. What can you do if these limitations will not cover replacement cost estimates for your home or business?

We urge you to contact United Public Adjusters & Appraisers for immediate and comprehensive assistance. UPA’s team will examine your policies and help you to determine what is and is not covered, as well as help you document your losses and submit your hurricane damage claim, flood damage claim, wind damage claim, and/or property damage claim. Whether your home and/or business is damaged or a total loss, bearing the shock and full impact of the devastation is not conducive to following up with your insurance carrier regarding the status of your claim(s). Instead, United Public Adjusters and Appraisers will oversee the entire processing of your claim(s). Be aware that when insurance carriers receive thousands of claims at once, that these are processed as quickly as possible also that the settlement offers are generally low and inadequate. In this instance, UPA will advise you not to accept a low-ball offer, and instead, negotiate with your carrier to bring about a fair and just settlement that meets your needs to the extent that your policy/policies allow. Nothing less.

United Public Adjusters & Appraisers is on standby to serve your needs and to be your ally. Learn more and get your recovery process jump-started by calling our team of professional public adjusters today.
