When a hurricane slams into a business, the owners have more at stake than the cost of cleaning up and repairing the damages. Businesses lose money each day they are unable to operate because of hurricane damage, and they need repairs and comprehensive payments to their hurricane insurance claims as quickly as possible. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), almost forty percent of the small businesses in the United States never reopen after suffering a major natural disaster. The reason why is simple: Even a few inches of water can cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage. In 2017 (the year of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria), the average flood claim was $91,735, up almost $30,000 from 2016, according to the Insurance Information Institute.

- Bars and restaurants

While the specific damage to each business is unique, the wind and water damage from hurricanes can cause broken storefront windows, roof and structure damage, and ruined machinery and inventory. Given the potential for astronomical repair costs, insurance carriers will search for reasons to deny, underpay or delay your claim.
Our attorneys have significant experience with hurricane insurance claims, wind damage claims, and water damage claims for businesses. We will help you thoroughly document your losses and damages and help ensure that you are compensated for both your property damage and the loss of revenue you suffered because of business interruption.

We have also helped business owners who have already filed and been paid a claim for hurricane damage to reopen the claim when the damage is later determined to be more extensive than initially assessed.
