Do You Need a Lawyer for Your Homeowners Insurance Claim

Posted by Diane Zimmerman | Jan 24, 2023 | 0 Comments

Let's face it - the homeowner's insurance industry in Florida is far from the most user-friendly business. Homeowners pay sky-high premiums and often have their claims underpaid or denied entirely. Without a strong advocate of your own, you may get shortchanged and pushed around by the insurance company.

The media has recently been filled with stories of insurance companies trying to pay homeowners pennies on the dollar for their claims. These companies are trying to get well financially at the expense of the homeowner. They believe that they are in a superior bargaining position to their policyholder, and they try to take full advantage of it. The same thing holds true no matter what type of claim you file.

When you hire an attorney for your homeowner's insurance claim, you get a number of advantages. First, you get someone who can take some of the pressure off you when you are dealing with difficult circumstances. Your lawyer will communicate with the insurance company on your behalf, saving you some of the stress.

Second, your lawyer can push back on your behalf when the insurance company unreasonably denies or tries to underpay your claim. Insurance companies will try to find a way why your policy does not require them to pay your damages or claim that it is someone else's problem. An experienced attorney can help hold them accountable when they mistreat you. Homeowners who hire an attorney for their claim end up doing far better than those who try to handle their own claim, even after paying an attorney.
