Compensation for a Sinkhole
When your home or business property has suffered sinkhole damage, you want to make sure you get the full amount of coverage from your insurance company. Unfortunately, insurers are focused on their profits and attempt to minimize the amount they pay out. If you are unfamiliar with the specifics of sinkhole activity or how insurance companies operate, you should hire a lawyer to help ensure you are treated fairly.
At Corless Associates, our Tampa law firm formerly represented large and small insurance companies across Florida. We know how they evaluate claims and the tactics they use to avoid paying on them. Today, we use this inside knowledge to help policyholders collect maximum coverage. For a free consultation, call 813-498-1623 or 877-517-5595.
Know Your Rights
When you file a sinkhole claim, the insurance company will hire an engineering firm to perform tests. While these firms are supposed to provide an unbiased report, they are being hired time and time again by the same insurance companies. For a truly objective report, you need an engineer who is not connected to an insurance company.
If we take on your case, we will pay an independent engineer to thoroughly inspect your home or business property to determine whether or not there is sinkhole activity. If sinkhole activity is confirmed, we will aggressively pursue all available compensation under your particular insurance policy. If your policy limit is $250,000, that is what we will aim for. We never persuade clients to accept sinkhole settlements that are below what we believe they are worth.
The Insurance Company May Be Responsible for Your Attorney Fees
Under Florida law, your insurance company is required to pay your attorney fees on a disputed sinkhole claim. However, certain requirements must be met in order for attorney fees to be awarded. Your claim must be properly documented and presented. Highly experienced with sinkhole claims, our lawyer knows how to handle these cases. Most often, our clients do not pay a dime.
