New Port Richey Hurricane & Storm Damage Claims Attorneys
Helping Pasco County Recover after a Devastating Storm
Florida’s tropical storm and hurricane season starts on June 1 and continues through November 30. However, destructive wind, rain, and thunderstorms regularly hit various parts of the state all year long. Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and high winds can cause sizable damage to residential and commercial properties.
In many cases, storm damage claims are often undervalued, delayed, or denied. When this happens, seeking legal counsel from a hurricane and storm damage claims attorney is in your best interest.

What Your Hurricane and Storm Insurance Should Cover
Florida hurricanes and storms have the potential to cause severe damage. Because of this, your hurricane and storm insurance should cover certain damages, including:
- Structural or Foundation Damage
- Roof Damage and Replacement of Shingles
- Window Leakage and Wood Frame Rotting
- Siding Damage and Improperly Installed Planks
- Destruction of Personal Property or Possessions (this includes furniture, appliances, and other valuables)
- Relocation Costs (this applies when your home is unlivable because of needed repairs)
In many cases, insurance companies will delay a claim because it is too difficult to determine when the damage occurred. In some instances, they may try to claim that the damaged structure is undamaged, when in reality, it is unusable.

Despite whether the damage to your home or property is slight or severe, the Pasco County Hurricane & Storm Damage Claims Attorneys at Whittel & Melton can help you no matter what the circumstances are. Just because your insurance company offered sub-standard repairs to minimize the total value of your claim or even flat-out denied your claim, this does not mean you have no means of protecting yourself.
Let us help you level the playing field with your insurance company so that you can recover what you are rightfully entitled to under the law.
At Whittel & Melton, we offer free same day consultations and always accept hurricane and storm damage cases on a contingency fee basis. To put it another way, you owe us nothing unless we recover damages on your behalf.
Suppose your insurance company failed to follow exact procedures when evaluating or paying your claim. If that’s the case, you might face a “Bad Faith” lawsuit, which could entitle you to receive additional compensation beyond what your insurance policy specifies.
