Hurricane Damage Claims in Florida and Georgia

Living in Florida or Georgia means understanding the annual threat of hurricane season. With high winds, torrential rains, and flying debris, hurricanes can devastate homes, businesses, and communities in a matter of hours.

At Allegiant Public Adjusters, we specialize in helping property owners recover after hurricanes by managing every step of the insurance claims process—from damage assessment to settlement negotiation—ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

The Impact of Hurricanes on Properties

Hurricanes bring a unique and destructive combination of elements that cause widespread property damage, including:

  • Catastrophic wind damage

  • Torrential rain and flooding

  • Storm surges that inundate homes and businesses

  • Debris impact damage to structures, vehicles, and landscaping

  • Roof and structural failures

Each of these forces can lead to significant and costly repairs. Some damages, like compromised structural integrity or hidden water infiltration, may not be immediately obvious without a professional inspection.

Types of Hurricane-Related Damage

Hurricane damage often affects multiple areas of a property simultaneously, including:

Wind Damage

Powerful winds can rip off shingles, tiles, siding, and even entire sections of roofing. Windows can shatter, and structures may shift or collapse under extreme pressure.

Water Intrusion

Driving rain can penetrate through weakened roofing, broken windows, or cracks in walls, leading to significant interior damage like:

  • Ceiling collapse

  • Water-damaged drywall

  • Destroyed flooring and insulation

  • Electrical system damage

Flood Damage

Coastal and inland flooding from hurricanes can saturate properties, causing foundation shifts, extensive mold growth, and destruction of personal property.

Structural Damage

Hurricane-force winds can compromise the core structure of a building. Cracks in foundations, warped framing, and roof separations can result in unsafe living or working conditions.

The Challenges of Filing a Hurricane Damage Claim

Insurance companies are often overwhelmed after a major hurricane, leading to:

  • Delays in claims processing

  • Underestimated damage assessments

  • Partial payments or denied claims

  • Pressure to accept quick, lowball settlements

Additionally, many policies have special deductibles for hurricane claims that are much higher than standard deductibles. Understanding these policy nuances is critical to ensuring your full claim is honored.

Why You Need a Public Adjuster for Hurricane Claims

When you work with Allegiant Public Adjusters, you gain an advocate who:

  • Documents every aspect of your damage with advanced technology (including Matterport® 3D scans and LiDAR imaging)

  • Interprets your policy to maximize covered losses

  • Negotiates aggressively with the insurance company on your behalf

  • Handles complex documentation and paperwork so you can focus on recovery

  • Protects you from accepting inadequate settlements

Insurance companies have their own adjusters looking out for their interests—you deserve a professional looking out for yours.
