Roof Claim Resolved in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Filing an insurance claim for roof damage can conjure up several issues and hardships, especially when insurance companies don’t want to pay for costly repairs. Homeowners frequently have to fight for their rights, despite the fact that they have been paying their premiums on time and have sufficient coverage to get the necessary repairs completed.

During a storm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a huge oak tree was struck by lightning and fell onto a house. The roof caved in, resulting in extensive water damage from the rain.

The insurance company stated that the homeowner failed to adequately protect his property so a portion of the claim was denied. However, according to current building codes, the entire roof should have been replaced to stay in compliance, not just the specific portion that the insurance company was willing to pay for.
