Hail Damage Insurance Claims For The State of Florida
Wind and hail damage claims accounted for the most homeowners insurance losses of any cause for every year of the five years between 2016 and 2020. A Georgia or Florida hail damage insurance claims attorney can help you when an insurer is not playing fair with evaluating your hail damage claim and paying you for it.
In a recent year, hail frequency in Central Florida was most common in May with 225 hail events, followed by June with 192, March and July tied with 129, and April with 107. The report stated that the worst and costliest hailstorm in Florida history resulted in $60 million to $100 million in damage, and was caused by hail the size of baseballs (2.75 inches), although the largest hailstone reported was 3 inches in diameter.
Common Issues with Hail Damage Insurance Claims
Hail is a form of solid precipitation involving balls or irregular lumps of ice called hailstones. Needless to say, hailstones can cause significant damage to homes and other types of property.
Some of the most common kinds of hail damage claims involve:
- Weakened roof integrity requiring entirely new roofing
- Breaks, chips, and cracks or other damages to windows and sidings
- Dents and glass damage to motor vehicles
- Broken or dented skylights
- Fallen trees, broken air conditioners, and other property damage
Insurance companies rarely play fair in their evaluations of hail damage claims. They may undervalue a claim, deny coverage, or delay approval or payment for several weeks or months.
