The city of Fort Lauderdale, FL experiences windstorms throughout each year. It doesn’t always take the power of a hurricane to cause wind damage to a home – even winds of 20 miles per hour can damage your home.

Your homeowner’s insurance policy should cover wind damage, whether it is caused by a hurricane or not. If you have wind damage coverage, your insurance company should approve your claim.

However, your insurance company expects you to minimize potential windstorm damage by safely storing all outdoor furniture and other possessions before a storm strikes. If you have storm shutters, use them. Heavy winds can carry objects in the air and slam them against your home. That’s why loose objects must be removed from your lawn.

After the windstorm passes, snap photographs of any wind damage you find around your home and on the roof. Our Wind Damage Fort Lauderdale public adjusters can take these photographs for you. It’s important to contact a local public adjuster as soon as you can. Your insurance company may not approve your claim if you wait too long to file it.

When you hire one of our Fort Lauderdale public adjusters to oversee your wind damage claim, we will negotiate a settlement with your insurance company. If they try to claim you didn’t do enough to protect your windows, roof, and other areas of your home from the wind, our public adjuster will try to prove the opposite. After all, we’re here to serve you, not the insurance company.
