Tampa Fire Insurance Lawyer
A fire in a commercial building can cause massive damage and irreplaceable losses, from the structure itself and the contents of the building to the disruption of business and loss of revenues. Convincing the insurance carrier to cover those losses can be an uphill battle, especially if there is any mystery about the origins of the fire.
Tampa attorney Ted A. Corless has represented owners of retail stores, office buildings, apartment buildings, warehouses, industrial facilities and other commercial properties in fire loss insurance claims. He is committed to holding insurers to their obligations for coverage of all damages, including:
- Structural damage
- Smoke damage
- Damaged machinery and office equipment
- Lost inventory
- Lost revenue
- Temporary business quarters
Insurers are notorious for downplaying fire damage, and payment on commercial property claims is often held up under suspicion of arson. We work with experts as necessary to corroborate our damage claims, and we stand up for our clients when insurance offers only cover-up repairs versus removal and replacement of interior and exterior damage. We will vigorously counter any hint that the fire was deliberately set for insurance purposes.
