Does Your Home or Commercial Property in
Marion County, Florida, Have Sinkhole Damage?
Sinkholes are naturally occurring phenomena found in many parts of Florida. However, Ocala, Gainesville and surrounding communities have a higher incidence of sinkhole activity — and corresponding property damage.
Sinkholes are an increasing menace in Marion County and Alachua County, causing structural damage to houses and businesses, including many newer, higher-priced homes. The law firm of Corless Associates has represented residential and commercial property owners of the greater Ocala area in their battles with insurance companies for coverage of repairs and losses.

Experienced Ocala Sinkhole Attorney
Founding attorney Ted A. Corless has handled more than 1,300 sinkhole claims on behalf of Florida property owners and has been involved in numerous cases in the Ocala area. We know that there have been a spate of cases around Belleview, Shady, Santos, Summerfield, Kendrick, Citra and throughout Marion County, as well as sinkholes in Gainesville, Arredondo, Newberry, High Springs, Alachua and other parts of Alachua County.
We will help you get a confirmation of sinkhole activity and explain your rights and remedies under Florida law. Your property damage and related losses are covered under homeowners insurance, but insurance companies routinely delay, deny and downplay sinkhole property claims because of the substantial costs of remediation and repairs.
Sinkholes are a natural feature of the geology of north-central Florida, caused when limestone far below the surface is dissolved by acidic groundwater. Population growth and development in Ocala and Gainesville has altered the aquifers and speeded up the process, leading to cracking, shifting and sometimes structural collapse of houses and commercial buildings.
