Hurricane Dorian Damages

Miami Hurricane Dorian Claim Lawyers

As a Category 4 storm, Hurricane Dorian is the strongest on record to approach the Florida coast this year. It looks as if it will have wind speeds in excess of 140-to-150 miles per hour, rivaling the force of Hurricane Florence last year. The projected path of Hurricane Dorian is one that takes it almost entirely up the center of Florida, putting all Floridians at risk of the storm’s wrath.

At this time, Hurricane Dorian is expected to intensify as it approaches Florida over the weekend. Landfall somewhere near West Palm Beach is predicted either Monday afternoon or early Tuesday morning. Be prepared for it now by creating a hurricane preparedness kit and evacuation plans with your family.

Filing a Hurricane Dorian Damage Claim After the Storm

When Hurricane Dorian passes over Florida, it is expected to leave widespread devastation in its wake. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Hurricane Center have labeled it as “life-threatening” and “extremely dangerous.” It is very likely that your property will be damaged to some degree by Hurricane Dorian as it moves northward. You will need to file a hurricane damage claim with your insurance company to receive coverage for your damages.

Start your hurricane damage claim early by preparing today:

• Take photographs of your property as it is now and in good condition.
• Catalog and photograph your most expensive valuables, like televisions and kitchen appliances.
• Clear your gutters and secure storm shutters to minimize potential damage.
• Save copies of important insurance documents both in a second physical location, like a bank strongbox, and on a protected digital source, such as to a secure cloud storage drive.

After Hurricane Dorian hits, you can compare your photos and catalog to the damage you see afterwards. This makes it easy to show your insurance company what exactly the storm did to your property. Remember: Do not leave your home or an evacuation center until authorities allow it.
