florida hotel property damage

The last few years, Florida has been in the path of several strong storms. Natural disasters have caused damage to hotels. The constant heavy wind, rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires and floods have all caused extreme damage to hundreds of hotels in the state. Negligent guests are also causes of vandalism, fire, flood and destruction of property.

If your hotel has damage, you are entitled to receive proper compensation for that damage. Unfortunately, insurance companies have a habit of denying or undervaluing hotel damage insurance claims in Florida. They will make every possible attempt to avoid paying your claim and providing you with the compensation you deserve. They may try to blame you for not maintaining the condition and safety of your building.

We understand the laws and rights of hotel owners. Your best chance of maximizing compensation for your hotel damage is to hire our legal experts who have experience negotiating and litigating such cases.

Here are the common excuses that insurance companies have for denying hotel damage insurance claims:

  • Damage Not Covered Under Insurance Policy: the cause of hotel damage has to be outside of your control, such as bad weather or vandalism. But if the insurance claims adjuster believes it is preexisting damage that you failed to repair, they may decide to deny or undervalue your claim.
  • Lack of Evidence and Documentation: failure to provide your insurance company with photographs and documentary evidence of the hotel damage could result in a denied claim.
  • Too Much Time Has Elapsed: Even though Florida law requires you to file a property damage claim within four years from the date of the incident, your insurance company may say that too much time has passed.

We will work hard to negotiate a fair settlement and recover full compensation on your behalf.
