Wind damage can have devastating effects on property, particularly during hurricanes, storms or tornadoes. High winds could result in severe damage to your roof, including blowing it entirely off or causing trees to fall onto your roof. High winds can also blow down fences or damaged windows to cause them to leak or break. There can also be hidden damage with high winds, including damage to the attic or roof which is not discoverable without a thorough inspection. Insurance companies know this and may try to pay you quickly without a full inspection. Other times, insurance companies will underpay you by claiming the damage was preexisting prior to the wind or storm.

Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover damage for wind. Some policies may have high wind exclusions, including here in Florida and on the coasts. It is important to make sure that your policy has coverage for wind damage. As part of that coverage, it is further important to have dwelling coverage for your house and personal property coverage for your possessions inside. There may be deductibles and coverage limits for wind damage which you have to pay out of pocket, which could reduce your overall claim. Further, most of the time a homeowner must prove that there is proof of a wind-created opening in the roof, walls, or entrance to the property where water, rain, or debris came into the premises.
Even though most homeowners insurance policies protect against wind damage, there are far too many instances where wind damage claims are denied or underpaid. This is because insurance companies have many tricks to reduce the compensation to which you may be entitled. Our experienced wind damage claim lawyer knows these tricks and knows how to fight back against improper denials and bad faith from an insurance company.
