Hurricanes and severe Florida storms are accompanied by strong gusts of wind that can top 100 miles per hour. High wind can damage the structure of your house or call trees to fall on your property. Much of the hurricane damage to your home comes from high wind. Getting the money to cover your damages often requires a fight.

You can and should expect that your homeowners insurance policy should cover wind damage to your home. However, the reality is far different after major storms. In some coastal areas, the insurance company may try to avoid covering wind damage altogether, knowing that severe storms can cause expensive damage.

The insurance company will try to throw in as many exclusions as possible to try to limit the amount that they will cover. They will take common types of damage and try to write them out of your coverage. What you may think is cut and dry can turn into a battle over the language of your policy. Insurance companies often try to get out of paying claims by blaming damage on flooding, which is not covered by a general homeowners' policy.

One of the most common forms of wind damage is when your roof is harmed or destroyed in a storm. Florida is trying to make it harder for you to get the new roof that you may need. Accordingly, you may need an attorney to fight for you to get the coverage that you need when the insurance company tries to deny the claim.
