Sinkhole Insurance Claims in Central Florida
You have worked hard to provide a nice home for your family, and you protected your family and your investment by purchasing homeowners insurance. But now the same insurance company that happily accepted your monthly premiums is balking at paying your claim for sinkhole damage.
Florida law requires insurance companies to cover damages to your home caused by sinkholes. Yet our clients relate a pattern in their complaints — the insurer is dragging its feet, won't pay enough to cover the repairs, or sent an adjuster who concluded that the damage is not caused by a sinkhole but "natural ground settling."
If you are in a dispute with your insurance carrier over sinkhole damage or preparing to file a claim, the Hancock Law Firm can help. We have successfully represented homeowners in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, and throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties.
