WIND DAMAGE CLAIMS

THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT WIND DAMAGE CLAIMS

Wind damages can wreak havoc and cause substantial destruction to your house. Hence, insurance companies cover such damages.

If the damage appears to occur due to natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, insurance companies may not pay you any money. It’s so because the damage happening due to such events aren’t usually covered in standard insurance policies. In some cases, a storm may result in windy weather and heavy rainfall. If your property suffers damage in the course of the aforementioned events, it becomes difficult to trace the source of damage.

Suppose that owing to a heavy storm, your roof gets damaged and leaves the interior of your home exposed. What will you do in such a case? Naturally, you would apply for wind damage claims in Fort Lauderdale. In such instances, your insurance company will be liable to replace or repair the roof. The company can choose any of the two that appear to be less expensive. However, it is not as simple a process it appears to be.

Replacing your roof may be a costly affair for the insurance company. Hence, they may choose to repair it. However, that may change the entire appearance of the structure.

Some of the companies are well-versed with this problem. Hence, they try to settle the claims by asking their clients to choose between roof repair or artistic value of the house. Typically, this is a deadlock situation for most clients as they are expected to compromise.

If your roof appears to have outlived its utility or is nearing its end, you may ask the insurance company to replace the roof altogether. Instead of spending unnecessarily on roof replacement, you can allow the company to do the needful.
