Sinkhole Damage Claims

Florida Insurance Lawyers: Sinkhole Damage

Has your home or property been damaged by a sinkhole? Insurance should cover the damages, but in many cases, valid sinkhole damage claims are routinely denied, delayed, or undervalued.

An insurance company may justify the claim denial by asserting that the damage isn't from a sinkhole, but was instead caused by the settling of soil, which isn't covered by insurance. Often this assertion is made without any soil or geologic testing at all. In other cases, the insurance company will have the site investigated by an engineer whose livelihood depends on making judgments that are favorable to the insurance company.

If damage is found, the insurance company may claim that the property damage wasn't caused by the sinkhole. Or they may recommend repairs that are inappropriate or ill-advised.

At The Nation Law Firm, our attorneys retain independent engineers, geologists, contractors, and other experts to determine if sinkhole activity exists and caused the damage. Our experts will recommend appropriate soil stabilization and structural repairs and comment on why other approaches may be inappropriate, wasteful or even dangerous.
