Sarasota, Florida Commercial Roof Insurance Claim

Sarasota Commercial Roof Insurance Claim – $450,000 Settlement

Williams Law Association, P.A. secured a $450,000 settlement for a commercial property owner after the insurance company wrongfully denied their roof damage claim.

A Sarasota commercial property owner filed an insurance claim after their roof sustained significant damage. Rather than investigating the full scope of the loss, the insurance company quickly denied the claim, insisting the damage fell below the policy deductible and didn’t warrant coverage.

The property owner knew the damage was far more extensive than the insurer claimed. Facing the prospect of paying out of pocket for costly commercial roof repairs, they contacted Williams Law Association, P.A., for help.

Case Details

  • Property Type: Commercial Property Insurance Claim
  • Issue: Severe roof damage requiring extensive repairs
  • Insurance Company’s Position: Claim denied (damage allegedly below deductible)
  • Final Result: $450,000 settlement
  • Location: Sarasota, Florida

How Williams Law Association, P.A. Fought Back

When the insurance company denies a legitimate claim, we don’t accept their word as final. Our expert commercial property insurance claim team immediately went to work building a case that proved the true extent of our client’s damages.

  • Thorough Damage Documentation: We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the roof damage, going beyond surface-level observations to identify all structural issues, water intrusion, and necessary repairs that the insurance company overlooked or minimized.
  • Expert Support: We brought in qualified roofing contractors and engineers who provided professional evaluations and testimony, demonstrating that the damage was substantial and exceeded the deductible threshold.
  • Aggressive Advocacy: Armed with compelling evidence, we directly challenged the insurer’s denial. We presented documentation they couldn’t ignore and negotiated persistently until they acknowledged their responsibility to cover the loss.

The Outcome

Through determined advocacy and solid evidence, we secured a $450,000 settlement for our client, far exceeding what the insurance company initially claimed was owed (which was nothing). This settlement provided the property owner with the funds necessary to complete all the required roof repairs and restore their building without facing financial hardship.
