Hurricanes are known for their strong winds and strong weather but most people are not fully aware of all the damages it could cause for homeowners. Some of the damages that could be included in your homeowners insurance claim include water damage, roof leaks, mold and fires.
Hurricane Nicole was a category one when it hit in Volusia County but it still caused major flooding. Many peoples homes and communities were affected due to the high volumes of water they were hit with. If you feel you were not awarded with enough settlement from the insurance company for hurricane Nicole damages, contact Ovadia Law Group. We can help you take on the insurance company so you can attend to more of the damages.
It is important to note everything you lost due to the flooding aside from the interior of the house you might have replaced. Items that you needed to get rid of due to them being beyond repair is considered as a loss in the final settlement. If you evacuated your home due to the dangerous conditions, you might not have seen the full extent of the damages during the height of the storm. The flooding could have caused you to need all new kitchen appliances, which also means you have lost a lot of perishable goods and medications. Roof leaks also could lead to flooding in your home. If a tree or something fell on your house you may need to get it removed by professionals adding to the costs of damages by Hurricane Nicole.
The flooding in your household caused by hurricane Nicole should be dealt with by professionals since they have the right equipment and experience dealing with all of the water. If the removal of the water is not done correctly then it could lead to mold forming throughout the house. This could lead to medical problems, which will be another issue to take on. If you have been exposed to mold and need to deal with the medical expenses, do not wait to get seen or treated by a medical team. Breathing in mold could lead to serious medical problems that will worsen overtime. If you have been exposed to these hazardous conditions due to hurricane Nicole, contact Ovadia Law Group at 1-800-674-9396.
During the hurricane if there is a house or building that catches on fire, it is very difficult to manage. With the high winds caused by hurricane Nicole it could have easily contributed to the spreading of fires in Volusia County. A house fire could cause more loss especially if there was a lot of smoke, this will require deep cleaning of the home and many things will need to be thrown out. The smell of smoke is something very difficult to get rid of. You should keep a log of all of the things lost by a house fire due to the hurricane.
Hurricanes are not uncommon in Florida but damages are so much more than physical items. Some people also need to let go of some sentimental items, which makes the pain and stress from the storm so much greater.
