Our team recently presented “Storm Delay: Late-Reported Wind and Hurricane Claims Under Florida Law.” Here are the key takeaways for Florida adjusters:
- It is important to conduct discovery on whether any changes were made to the condition of the property between when the wind event and when the loss was reported – was the roof replaced? Was the roof repaired? What were the extent of roof repairs? Look for material changes to the home.
- Be sure to request photographs of the roof before it was repaired or replaced
- Check the permit history of the property for material changes to the roof
- Review aerial images of the roof before the date of loss and after
- Retain an expert to assess potential prejudice
