Hurricane & Storm Damage Claims: First Steps

What homeowners and condominium, cooperative and homeowners associations should do first after hurricane or storm damage in Florida.

After a hurricane or major storm, Shir Law Group wants to help you, your family, and your homeowner, condominium or cooperative association deal with the aftermath. Quickly documenting your damage is essential.

First steps

  1. Take photos and video of all damage — no matter how small or large you think it is.
  2. Locate the insurance policy for your home, building or place of business.
  3. Contact your insurance carrier and report your damage.
  4. Do not sign or agree to anything an insurance adjuster, agent or representative offers until you understand it and have had it reviewed.

For associations

As counsel to homeowner, condominium and cooperative associations, we have experience with construction issues, association emergency powers after a disaster, and the insurance claims that help associations repair and restore their property.
