How a Hurricane Insurance Claim Works
If your property has been struck by a disaster caused by a hurricane, you know that the next step is filing an insurance claim. But before you do that, there are some things you should know about applicable insurance policies and the timing of your claim. So, here’s what you need to know about hurricane insurance claims.
Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Hurricane Damage?
Most of the time, homeowners insurance does cover hurricane damage. But in areas susceptible to hurricanes, such as Florida, your homeowner’s insurance might exclude or limit coverage for hurricane damages.
That is why it is crucial to review your insurance policy and see what it covers. If the policy doesn’t include hurricane coverage, you can purchase an additional premium – windstorm insurance.
It’s also a good idea to buy flood insurance. An external flood caused by a hurricane can enter your property and wreck your home and possessions. In this case, you can be reimbursed for the damages if you have flood insurance.
How Long After a Hurricane Should You File a Claim?
After a hurricane, you have three years to submit a property insurance claim. Although it may seem like a long time, there are several things that can delay it, so it’s best to act fast.
Instead of waiting the three years, it’s best to file your claim right away. This way, you’ll have time to get coverage even if you end up in an insurance dispute. Unfortunately, many insurance companies act in bad faith and look for ways to reject your claim. So, you should act promptly and have a team of experts on your side. That way, you’re guaranteed to get what you’re entitled to.
Types of Damages from a Storm
There is a plethora of various damages that can occur as a result of natural disasters. But what are the common issues that are considered storm damage? Here are the examples.
- Flooding: Periods of heavy rainfall can often result in flooding, clogged rain gutters, and related water damage.
- Mudflow: One of the results of flooding is mudflow. In other words, floods can bring mud into your home. This is often covered by your flood insurance.
- Wind damage: Strong winds can damage or destroy non-permanent structures, damage roofs, cause power failure and even uproot trees, cars, and furniture, causing big damage as a result.
- Storm surge: Due to strong hurricane winds, sea levels can rise quickly. Homes on the shoreline can easily be engulfed by the storm surge.
There are some general damages caused by wind and hurricanes. Depending on the severity, the condition, safety, and livable conditions of your home can be seriously affected. That is why it’s important to take action quickly.
