If you own a business in the state of Florida, be aware of the terms in your commercial insurance policy and understand what steps to take immediately following a loss, whether it’s due to a hurricane or water damage resulting from an air conditioning leak. The potential damages can be extensive, and the impact on your business and its income can be devastating. You should also ensure that you have access to the necessary professionals who can assist you. It’s worth noting that commercial insurance carriers often take several months to process claims, and in some cases, claims have been known to linger for up to half a year without receiving any substantial updates from the insurance company. Many of our commercial clients mistakenly assume that their insurance company will act in their best interest and treat them fairly. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the reality. For instance, following Hurricane Ian, we received numerous calls from business owners in Florida who had to wait until 2023 to receive any meaningful updates from their insurance company. If your business has been affected by any weather-related or water damage claim, we urge you to contact us immediately. A consultation is complimentary.
