Williams Law Association, P.A. successfully secured a $425,000 settlement for a Florida hotel owner whose property sustained extensive damage during a hurricane. Initially, the insurance company offered a settlement far below the cost required to properly repair and restore the hotel to its pre-loss condition.
Why This Case Matters?
Hurricanes can inflict massive and complex damage on commercial properties, such as hotels, affecting roofing systems, HVAC units, interiors, and business operations. Unfortunately, insurance companies often underestimate the true costs of these repairs, especially when dealing with large commercial claims.
In this case, the hotel owner’s insurer lowballed the settlement, offering only a fraction of the repair costs. Without the funds to fix the damage, the hotel’s operations were at risk, potentially leading to lost bookings, reputational harm, and extended business interruption. That’s when the hotel owner turned to Williams Law Association, P.A. for help.
