Tampa, Florida, Sinkhole Claims Attorney
Understanding Sinkhole Terminology
As you pursue the insurance benefits you deserve, it is important to understand the terminology that will be used by the insurance company, lawyers and others as your case unfolds.
From your perspective as a claimant, the most important term is "sinkhole loss." If you have sinkhole loss as described in your policy, you will be entitled to benefits such as repair expenses. The fight in these cases often centers around whether there is evidence of sinkhole activity on the property.
Are you getting the full benefit of your insurance coverage? Many insurance companies attempt to downplay sinkhole activity or deny claims altogether. Before accepting a settlement or signing anything, call 877-SINK-LAW (746-5529) for a free consultation and case evaluation.
To avoid covering damages for a sinkhole loss, insurance companies will often try to claim the damage is not structural damage to a load-bearing element, but rather cosmetic damage that is much cheaper to fix. Or, they will seek to limit structural damage to a very narrow definition so they can avoid their share of responsibility.
If you are noticing damage to your home, such as cracks in your foundation, flooring, walls or steps, the problem may stem from sinkhole activity taking place below your property. At Williams Law Association, P.A., we can help you pursue the benefits you are entitled to from your property insurance policy.
