Understanding Your Hurricane Insurance Policy:

 

It's crucial to understand the coverage details of your hurricane insurance policy. This knowledge will empower you to make informed decisions about your claim and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to. Here are some key points to consider:

 

  • Deductible: This is the amount you'll need to pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in. Make sure you understand your specific deductible amount.

  • Additional living expenses: If your home is uninhabitable due to hurricane damage, your insurance may cover additional living expenses, such as hotel costs or temporary housing rentals.

While hurricanes are a reality in Florida, there are steps you can take to minimize damage and make the claims process smoother:

 

  • Review and update your insurance policy: Ensure your coverage limits are adequate for your property value and reflect the potential threats in your area.
  • Document your property: Take photos and videos of your home and belongings before hurricane season, providing valuable documentation in case of damage.
