Business Interruption Claim Preparation and Negotiation

In the aftermath of last year's hurricanes many Florida businesses were left with substantial un-insured losses. For example, one of our clients was only able to recover a portion of a roof damaged by Charlie. Their insurance policy did not cover the undamaged portion of the roof which, under Florida building codes, had to be totally replaced. Even worse, many businesses still have not settled with their insurance companies on their loss of income -- or settled on how much in extra expenses they are entitled to recover.

Whether a hurricane, a fire or other covered peril, we believe that it is important for insurance consumers to have someone at their side to provide advice in the preparation and negotiation of their business interruption claim. Insurance companies usually outsource this to experts. Why shouldn't the policyholder have someone at their side?
