The Problem

Insurers Dispute Wind and Surge Damage to Protect Profits.

After a hurricane, insurance adjusters rush inspections. They classify wind damage as "pre-existing wear" and dispute storm surge as a "flood" (often excluded from standard policies). Your settlement suffers.

  • ⚖️We force your insurer to honor the total policy value for catastrophic losses.
Policy Education

What Does Hurricane Insurance Cover in Florida?

Florida homeowners policies typically cover wind damage from hurricanes, but insurance companies use complex language to limit your payout. Understanding your coverage is the first step to getting paid in full.

🌀

Wind Damage

Roof shingle loss, siding damage, broken windows, and structural displacement caused by hurricane-force winds. Your insurer must cover repairs to restore the property to its pre-storm condition.

🌧️

Rain Damage After Wind

When wind breaches your roof or walls, the resulting water intrusion is covered under your windstorm policy. Insurers often try to reclassify this as "flood damage" to deny your claim.

🏗️

Structural Damage

Foundation shifting, load-bearing wall cracks, and truss failures caused by sustained hurricane winds. These require engineering reports that insurance adjusters rarely commission on their own.

🌳

Debris & Tree Impact

Trees and flying debris that strike your roof, walls, or vehicles during a hurricane. Your policy covers removal costs and structural repairs from impact damage.

⚡

Power Surge & Electrical

Lightning strikes and power surges during hurricanes destroy HVAC systems, appliances, and electrical panels. These losses are often overlooked by insurance adjusters.

🏠

Additional Living Expenses

If your home is uninhabitable after a hurricane, your policy covers hotel stays, meals, and temporary housing while repairs are completed. Claim Guardians ensures you receive every dollar of ALE coverage.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Hurricane Damage Claims

How long do I have to file a hurricane damage claim in Florida?
Florida law requires you to report property damage to your insurer promptly. For most homeowner policies, you should file within one year of the hurricane event. However, filing sooner gives you a stronger claim. Claim Guardians helps you file correctly the first time to avoid delays and denials.
What is the hurricane deductible in Florida?
Most Florida policies have a separate hurricane deductible, typically 2% to 5% of your dwelling coverage limit. On a $400,000 home, that means $8,000 to $20,000 out of pocket before coverage kicks in. Claim Guardians maximizes your gross settlement so the net amount after your deductible is as high as possible.
Does hurricane insurance cover water damage from rain?
Yes, if wind first damages the building envelope (roof, walls, windows) and rain enters through that opening, the resulting water damage is covered under your windstorm policy. This is called "wind-driven rain." Insurance companies frequently try to classify this as flood damage, which requires a separate policy. Claim Guardians documents the wind breach to prove your water damage is covered.
Can I hire a public adjuster after my hurricane claim was denied?
Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us after their hurricane claim has been denied or underpaid. Claim Guardians re-inspects your property, gathers new evidence, and files a formal appeal. We have reversed hundreds of hurricane claim denials across Florida.
How much more can a public adjuster get for my hurricane claim?
Studies show policyholders who use public adjusters receive settlements 30% to 700% higher than those who negotiate alone. The exact amount depends on your damage, your policy limits, and how aggressively your insurer contests the claim. Claim Guardians works on contingency, so you only pay if we increase your settlement.
