Roof Damage Covered by Your Insurance Company

Your property insurance will cover roof damage resulting from a covered event. This means that your policy must cover the cause of the damage to your roof.
Examples of roof damage that most insurance policies cover include the following:

  • Storm damage
  • Wind damage
  • Hail damage
  • Tornado damage
  • Hurricane damage
  • Tropical storm
  • Falling tree damage

Conversely, most policies do not include coverage for everyday wear and tear. An experienced roof damage lawyer at EC Law Counsel can walk you through the claim process and explain covered damage and how to present evidence of the damage to the insurance company.

Steps to Take After Roof Damage in Florida

After experiencing roof damage, you must act quickly to protect your home and comply with your insurance policy. You should take the following steps:

  • Document the damage as best you can with photographic evidence.
  • Mitigate Further Damage: Take reasonable steps to limit the damage that your compromised roof could cause. These steps include stopping any leaks by covering the roof with tarps.

EC Law Counsel has over a decade of experience working with property owners in southern Florida on their insurance claims. We can walk you through this challenging process and present a detailed claim of all damages to your insurance company.

Issues to Watch Out for with Your Roof Damage Claim in Florida

An insurance claim from roof damage raises unique issues relating to the cause of the damage. In some cases, your insurance company will not cover your loss depending on:

  • Any prior maintenance or repairs
  • Age and condition of your roof
  • Building codes
  • Any preexisting structural damage to the roof

Insurance companies do not cover property damage from normal wear and tear. It can be difficult to determine the precise cause of the damage to your roof, and your insurer may deny coverage on this basis.

To prove that your policy covers your roof damage, you need the assistance of an experienced roof damage lawyer. EC Law Counsel can help build your claim.
