Residential hurricane damage claims are difficult enough because insurance companies try to push around individual homeowners. They try to use a whole different level of tactics for commercial claims because they are worth far more money.

Once your business has been damaged, you should do your best to document the damages as extensively as possible. Try to avoid making any repairs until the adjuster has had the chance to survey your property and take pictures of the damage. At the same time, you have a legal obligation to do everything you can to mitigate your own damages.

Your business may have unique damages because of what has been lost. For example, you could have lost data in the storm. You may need to hire a disaster recovery service in the short term to stem some of the damages.

Not only is the physical damage to your business likely to be an issue, but you may also be able to file a claim for the damages due to your business interruption. As you can see, there are many more things to fight about with the insurance company. There will likely be a wide variance between what you are due in an insurance claim and what the insurance company is offering you.

Many business claims after a hurricane end up in litigation because the insurance company tries to save money at the business owner's expense. An experienced attorney will fight for your interests when your company is threatened by a greedy insurance company.
