CNN reports that Hurricane Michael is forecast to be a “dangerous major hurricane” when it hits the US Gulf Coast on Wednesday.
Remember, before any storm approaches there are reasonable steps you can take before a hurricane:
- Take “before” pictures to aid in any insurance claims.
- Protect areas of your home where wind can enter.
- Secure your windows and doors with either County- approved storm shutters or with 5/8-inch plywood.
- Prune your trees and shrubs

Have your Denial or Underpayment Letter and Your Policy Immediately Reviewed By an Attorney Who Specializes in Insurance Law
It is extremely important to fully understand the scope of your policy’s coverage. An attorney knowledgeable in insurance law is best equipped to review the terms of the policy along with the denial or partial denial letter from your insurance company to determine how best to address why the insurance company is not giving you the compensation that you are entitled to under your insurance policy..
Even if the letter from the insurance company reflects their agreement to pay for part of your claim, the attorney reviewing your policy and the partial denial letter, may determine that you still have recourse against the insurance company for the balance of what is really owed to you. If your insurance policy was destroyed in the storm, fire, etc., don’t worry, the attorney can request a copy from the insurance company.
