Florida Hail Damage Claims
Hailstorms are becoming more common in Florida, and they can leave you with hidden roof damage. A hail-damaged roof is much more vulnerable during tropical storms or hurricanes.

IS YOUR HAIL DAMAGE CLAIM COVERED UNDER HOMEOWNERS’ INSURANCE?
Sentry Public Adjusting can review your homeowners’ insurance policy for free to ensure that you have adequate coverage for damage from hail. With hail damage claims increasing in recent years, policies sometimes have exclusions from hail damage. There is also a cosmetic damage exclusion that can be part of a policy.
Assessing the full extent of hail damage is an involved process. If the integrity of your roof or siding is compromised, it can lead to water and mold damage, which often go unnoticed. Some insurance companies won’t allow for the coverage of other damages, leaving you with thousands of dollars in repairs that aren’t reimbursed.
Most homeowners’ insurance policies have anti-concurrent causation clauses in them. An anti-concurrent causation clause usually reads something similar to, “We do not insure for such loss regardless of: a) the cause of the excluded event; or b) other causes of the loss; or c) whether other causes acted concurrently or in any sequence with the excluded event to produce the loss.”

FLORIDA HAIL DAMAGE CLAIMS
Insurance companies are only obligated to repair or replace your roof – whichever costs less.
In Florida, we have the 25% Roof Replacement Rule in the Florida Building Code, which luckily helps make coverage for damage to your roof easier to mend. Roofs aren’t the only part of your home that gets damaged by the hail. Hail damage can open your home up to other losses that can be equally devastating.
Sentry Public Adjusting will help guide you to maintain your safety and to keep the integrity of your home intact until repairs can be made.
Your hail damage insurance claims should be handled by a professional firm like Sentry Public Adjusting. Handling a hail damage claim yourself can result in a being denied or “lowballed.” Our licensed Florida public adjusters are skilled in dealing with insurance companies and claims. That’s their job!
