Hurricane Ian Condo Association Insurance Claim – $1.3 Million Recovered
Condo Association Insurance Claim for Hurricane Ian Damage – $1.3 Million Recovered
Our client, a condominium association in Southwest Florida, sustained severe wind and water damage from Hurricane Ian. The storm tore through the building’s roofing system, damaged multiple units, and left common areas uninhabitable.
Despite apparent structural damage and widespread interior losses, the insurance carrier issued an initial payment of only $362,000, a fraction of what was needed for proper repairs.
Unsatisfied and under immense financial pressure, the condo board contacted Williams Law, P.A.
Our expert insurance claim lawyers immediately:
- Conducted a complete independent damage assessment
- Retained experts in engineering, roofing, and water intrusion
- Uncovered missed damages and improperly applied exclusions
- Built a comprehensive claim file to challenge the underpayment
Through strategic negotiations and legal pressure, we forced the carrier to reevaluate the claim. Our efforts resulted in a final recovery of $1,662,000—an over $1.3 million increase beyond the original offer.
This settlement allowed the association to restore the property, protect owners’ investments, and move forward without special assessments or prolonged delays.
