Restoring her life after the storm — Bambi’s Morgan & Morgan Story

When Hurricane Irma swept through Florida as a devastating Category 4 storm, Bambi’s home was directly in its path. Living in a small neighborhood that became ground zero for the storm’s destruction, she experienced firsthand the widespread damage that left her home in desperate need of repair.

“Irma hit hard,” Bambi recalls. “My neighborhood was ground zero. We needed a new roof, gutters, and fences.”

Like many homeowners in the aftermath of a natural disaster, Bambi turned to her insurance company for help. After all, insurance exists to provide peace of mind during times of crisis. But instead of the support she expected, she found herself caught in a frustrating and disheartening process.

Bambi did what most homeowners in her situation would do—she followed the rules, contacted her insurance company, and waited for help. The company sent adjusters and inspectors to assess the damage, and soon after, she received a check. However, it quickly became clear that the amount was far from enough to repair her home.

“I knew something wasn’t right,” Bambi explained. “The check they gave me wasn’t going to cover the repairs.”

Like many others who have faced natural disasters, Bambi realized that her insurance payout would not be enough to restore her home to its original state. Feeling frustrated and unsure of her next steps, she began searching for a solution.

That’s when Bambi discovered Morgan & Morgan. After visiting the firm’s website, she saw success stories from others who had received two to three times the amount their insurance companies originally offered. Inspired by these stories, she reached out to the firm, hoping to find the help she desperately needed.

“When I saw Morgan & Morgan’s website and the recoveries people were getting—two and three times what they were originally issued—I knew I had to reach out,” she said.

Shortly after, Bambi met with a local attorney from Morgan & Morgan, and for the first time since the hurricane, she felt a sense of relief. The attorney immediately took action, bringing in a team of inspectors to conduct their own assessment of the damage. Unlike the insurance company, Morgan & Morgan's team was thorough, honest, and persistent in their efforts to ensure Bambi received the compensation she deserved.

“They came in, hit it head-on with their own inspection reports, and didn’t stop until they got me what I needed to fix my home properly,” Bambi shared.

The aftermath of a natural disaster brings enough stress and heartache. The last thing homeowners like Bambi need is the added frustration of dealing with an insurance company that complicates the process of recovery. For Bambi, the mental and physical toll of the hurricane was already overwhelming. But thanks to Morgan & Morgan, she didn’t have to carry the additional burden of fighting for fair compensation on her own.

“The heartache and the mental and physical duress that one goes through after something like a Category 4 is significant,” she said. “The last thing a human needs is more pain in trying to get a rightful, honest recovery.”

While the insurance company seemed to create obstacles, Morgan & Morgan provided solutions. The firm’s legal team worked tirelessly to secure the funds Bambi needed to restore her home, ultimately bringing her long and exhausting journey to a close.

“Unlike the insurance company that tended to complicate things, Morgan & Morgan came in, got it done. We got the check, and we closed the books. Finally.”
