Hurricane Attorney in Hilton Head

Hurricanes can cause many types of property damage. Here are some of the most common types you should look out for.

• Roof damage
• Flooding and water damage caused by rain or storm surge
• Broken doors and windows
• Structural damage
• Electrical system or fire damage
• Damage to personal property

• Document everything. Before a hurricane hits, try to make complete lists of as much of your property as possible. In addition, take photos of your home, yard, and any other structures like pools, screened porches, and sheds. After the storm, take more photos to document all the damage, and make a detailed list of every item impacted, no matter how small. When taking damage pictures, start with wide shots of your home, including the roof and all four walls, before taking close-up images.
• Protect your property after the storm. Your insurance policy likely contains a clause that requires you to make every effort to prevent further damage to your home and property after a hurricane. For example, if you have broken windows, attempt to cover any openings to prevent further water damage to the inside of your home. Of course, you should only take such steps to protect your property if or when it is safe to do so.
• Don’t wait to file your claim. Your insurance company will likely look for any reason not to pay your claim. Remember to file your initial claim as soon as possible so you don’t miss any deadlines that might be hidden in your insurance policy.
