These are but several different types of catastrophic events that can result in significant damage to your business. Indeed, these and other types of calamities can result in a cessation of the operation of your business, or at least a marked reduction in activity.

When a catastrophic event occurs that impacts your business, you will find yourself in need of pursuing a Florida business insurance claim of some type. When such a need arises, you need to understand the basic process of pursuing such a claim, the roadblocks you may face when seeking a timely and suitable settlement, and how an experienced, committed Florida insurance claim settlement lawyer can assist you and your company.

Florida Insurance Claim Process Overview

Invoking the provisions of a commercial insurance policy begins when you file a claim to recover for losses sustained to your business as a result of some sort of incident. From word go, you need to know the deadline by which you need to file a claim related to losses sustained by your business because of a hurricane, other weather event, fire, or some other calamity.

Because of the need to ensure a timely file of a claim, you need to make certain you know what your insurance policy requires in this regard. The failure to file a claim in a timely manner has the potential for your and your business being unable to seek any type of insurance settlement.

The insurance company then has a specific period of time to respond to your claim. In addition, Florida law permits a commercial insurance company time to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding a claim.

If you’re called upon to provide additional documentation to support your commercial insurance claim, you need to be certain that you satisfy that deadline as well. Deadlines and the general potential complexity of the business insurance claims settlement process underscores the importance of seeking legal representation from a skilled, experienced Florida insurance claim settlement lawyer, like a member of the legal team at The Doan Law Firm.

Potential Roadblocks to the Business Insurance Claim Settlement Process

Florida commercial insurance companies are in business for one primary reason and that reason alone. They exist to make money for their shareholders and other major stakeholders. One of the ways in which commercial insurance companies prop up their bottom line is to reduce the amount of money paid to business owners for valid claims.

Florida business insurance companies thwart timely and reasonable claim settlements by engaging in a variety of illicit tactics. These include what sometimes are even unlawful unfair claim settlement practices. As will be discussed more fully in a moment, an experienced Florida business insurance claim settlement lawyer is in the best position to take on even the most obstinate and abusive insurance company.
