Florida Insurance, Florida Hurricane, Florida Hurricane Attorney

State Farm is trying to do away with the discounts it currently offers to homeowners who have a policy with State Farm in Florida.

Currently, State Farm policy holders are able to get discounts though various means, including preparing the home for extreme whether or having never filed a claim.

But, theses discounts cannot be wiped away on the insurance’s company’s whim. The company will need to get approval from the state before it takes any action.

So all those who just installed hurricane shutters to their homes will have to wait and see if the investment pays off.

Florida Hurricane, Florida Hurricane Attorney, Florida Insurance, Florida Hurricane PreparationThe legal storms following a hurricane can make the actual hurricane look like an April shower. It sure seems like surviving Hurricane Rita was easy for Mary Harmon, compared to her uphill battle of getting insurance coverage for the damage caused by the hurricane. Her insurance company denied her claims for wind damage. After filing a complaint with the court, the judge granted the insurance company’s summary judgment. After filing for her appeal, her attorney did not file a brief with the court and her appeal was never heard. The appeal was dismiss because the document was never filed. Preparing for a hurricane means more than bottles of water and batteries, a good insurance policy and supportive attorney is vital to get you through the aftermath.

Pasco Sinkhole Attorney on New Building Code

Pasco Sinkhole Attorney
Pasco Sinkhole Attorney notes that the Pasco County Commission is set to vote on a change in the County’s building code in order to provide residents with greater protections from potential sinkhole damage. The change calls for foundations to be reinforced with extra steel in sinkhole prone areas. Although some are skeptical about the tougher building code, a Pasco County attorney believes that “[a]dding steel or reinforcing the slab will certainly prevent a lot of minor damage.” Regardless, it is believed the new regulations will help Pasco County homeowners because it will lower the cost of sinkhole insurance premiums.
