What to Look Out For: Flood Damage vs. Wind Damage
Many individuals who have suffered flood damage in a hurricane are surprised to learn their homeowner’s policy doesn’t cover it. Remember, flood insurance is most often a matter of federal law, often included in flood relief funds allocated to the states. Because of this, most individuals purchase flood insurance separately from their homeowner’s insurance. Insurance adjustors are all too aware of this fact and have withheld millions of dollars in payments to their customers by claiming damage caused by wind was actually caused by a flood.
When trying to determine to specific cause of the damage done to your home, know where the water came from, if it’s possible water damage was caused by the wind, and the specific way your insurance policy deals with these factors.
Confusion Is What They're Counting On
Insurance companies count on confusion over their policies and their customers’ unwillingness to challenge their decisions as part of their business model. Alone, these two factors save them millions of dollars each year.
