The Berman Law Group Reports Insurance Companies Acting in Bad Faith Post-Hurricane

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hurricane Irma has inflicted serious damage on millions of people in South Florida. Similar to what was reported in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, insurance companies are not holding up their ends of the contracts they signed.

For many people, insurance companies represent peace of mind. They are obligated to provide compensation for those who have suffered property damage. Unfortunately, some insurance companies prey on people who have already been victimized.

They have been known to offer settlements that are far less than what the property is worth, falsely denying claims on the basis of fictitious pre-existing damages, and making deceitful statements about what is and what is not covered on your policy. In addition, they do not send adjusters or send unqualified agents. When they do comply with the contract, they delay for an unreasonable amount of time.

Despite their advertising campaigns, they will find any excuse not to pay what they owe you. There is legal recourse for those who need it. The legal experts of the Berman Law Group will hold insurance companies accountable for their actions. Insurance companies should promptly pay your claim.

After Hurricane Katrina ravaged the State of Louisiana, homeowners received an average of $5,700 less than they should have. In total, there was more than $900 million in losses for 160,000 families throughout the state.

The Berman Law Group does not want that to happen to the people of Florida. They have recently shared their blog post concerning common mistakes people make when dealing with property damage claims.

Many attorneys of the Berman Law Group have roots in the state, and are involved in the community. The Berman Law Group has offices throughout Florida, with its main office located in Boca Raton. Losses from Hurricane Irma could total $18 billion in Florida alone. Many residents of the state have seen their homes, businesses, or other property receive significant damage.
