Insurance Bad Faith Complaint Center Intends to Endorse Florida Based Private Insurance Adjusters to Protect Business Owners-Homeowners from Insurance Companies-In the Wake of Hurricane Ian
The Insurance Bad Faith Complaint Center will in the next two or three weeks start endorsing Florida based private insurance adjusters to ensure properly insured business owners and or homeowners impacted by Hurricane Ian in Florida get compensated.
“Hurricane Ian damage may exceed $50 billion dollars, it might be one of the costliest storms in US history and insurance companies may be tempted to shortchange their policy holders in Florida.”
TAMPA, FL, October 11, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ — The Insurance Bad Faith Complaint Center will in the next two or three weeks start endorsing Florida based private insurance adjusters to ensure business owners and or homeowners impacted by Hurricane Ian in the Sunshine State do not get fleeced by an insurance company.
Private insurance adjusters typically get better insurance claims results for their clients. The Center is not only talking about damage done to a residential building, condominium or townhouse-they are also talking about businesses that cannot reopen because their business suffered significant damage-or the building they were in suffered significant damage and the business cannot yet reopen.
The first questions for a business owner or homeowner in Florida who had proper insurance coverage when Hurricane Ian made landfall-who cannot move back into their home or reopen their business is:
* “Does your homeowner’s policy have loss of use or business interruption insurance coverage in the instance of an impacted business?”
* “Has your insurance company agreed to pay you for your loss of use-or business interruption?” https://InsuranceBadFaithComplaintCenter.Com
For homeowners in Florida who had substantial roof damage because of Hurricane Ian-the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is offering free blue tarp installations for qualifying homeowners in Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, Collier and DeSoto counties. https://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Emergency-Operations/Blue-Roof-Information/
The group says, “We want business owners and homeowners who have proper insurance coverage in Florida and who had significant damage to their business or to their home because of Hurricane Ian to get the best possible compensation results-based on their insurance coverage. On Sunday October 12th, we saw a person on CBS’s 60 Minutes suggesting Hurricane Ian insurance coverage may ‘depend ‘ on what happened first-‘wind-or water’ and we decided to immediately to get involved. In most instances with respect to Hurricane Ian we are pretty sure the wind came before the storm surge.” https://InsuranceBadFaithComplaintCenter.Com
The Insurance Bad Faith Complaint Center is offering tips for business owners or homeowners who suffered significant damage in Hurricane Ian, and why a person-persons in this situation might consider talking to a private insurance adjuster:
The business owner-homeowner does not understand their insurance policy-especially the parts about loss of use-and or business interruption.
* The business owner-homeowner suffered significant damage to their business-home because of Hurricane Ian and their insurance company is offering a quick settlement-that might not be enough to make the repairs.
* The insurance company of the business owner-homeowner appears to be denying their Hurricane Ian claim.
* The business owner’s-homeowner’s insurance company has warned them about hiring a private insurance adjuster.
The Center says, “Hurricane Ian damage may exceed $50 billion dollars, and as such it might be one of the costliest storms in US history. The reason we will be endorsing and hopefully collaborating with three or four high end Florida based private insurance adjuster firms is because with so much money involved some insurance carriers may want to shortchange their policy holders. In this instance we think that sticking up for the little guy is the right thing to do.” https://InsuranceBadFaithComplaintCenter.Com
Insurance Bad Faith Complaint Center Now Urges AV Rated Bad Faith Attorneys in Texas or Florida to Contact Them to Assist Small Businesses with Insurance Company Disputes
WASHINGTON,Sept. 11, 2017/PRNewswire/ — The Insurance Bad Faith Complaint Center says, “With historic hurricanes devastatingTexasand now Florida, we are urging AV rated attorneys who have experience representing small to medium sized businesses in insurance claim disputes to let us know who you are. We are only interested in hearing from partner level lawyers at their firm, and the law firm’s primary location must be inTexasfor a Hurricane Harvey business owner, and inFloridafor Hurricane Irma business owners.
“The last thing we want to see happen is out of state law firms attempt to come in toTexasand orFloridato help business owners who have disputes with their insurance companies-when local, extremely skilled and properly licensed attorneys should be able to do a much better job.”http://
For more information, a partner at a properly licensed law firm inTexasand orFloridaare welcome to call the Insurance Bad Faith Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466. Initially the group will probably list qualified law firms on their website so small business owners with insurance company claim issues in Texas, orFloridawill have a reputable local attorney or law firm to call for help and or provide legal assistance.
TheInsurance Bad Faith Complaint Centerbelieves the following are the most common types of bad faith tactics used by the insurance industry that could now be occurring to businesses in Hurricane Harvey ravaged areas ofTexas, andFloridain the very near future:
- Delayed investigation, or analysis of claims.
- Denial of loss of revenue. Revenue is the income a business would have earned during the closure period if it were operating normally.
- Denial of rental payments while the business cannot be occupied. Many landlords require a business to continue making payments even if the premises have become unusable or the business is inaccessible. As an example, inHoustonthe business did not flood but employees or customers cannot get to the business because the roads leading to the business have been closed.
- Denial of paying employee wages for a covered event. A standard business policy may provide coverage to help a business make payroll when it is unable to operate.
- Improper, or under valuation of property losses.
- Unreasonable or bullying type settlement tactics on the part of an insurance company. In this instance, the insurance company offers pennies on the dollar to settle the claim rather than paying what was owed.
- Refusal to give insurance coverage on a claim that should have been covered.
- Errors or omissions on the part of your insurance agent. Did your insurance agent fail to give you the type of coverage you needed?
The Insurance Bad Faith Complaint Center is an advocate for small to medium sized businesses that have bad faith insurance issues with their insurance carrier. The group is not a law firm, and this press release is not an attempt to practice law. Rather it is an attempt to protect small to medium sized businesses from out of state unethical attorneys or law firms and or marketing referral services that see Hurricanes Harvey or Irma as a potential huge financial windfall as opposed to local experienced attorneys taking care of neighbors in need for a reasonable fee.http://
