Insurance claim help after Hurricane Isaias
Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin on October 9, 2026, affecting communities across the Florida Panhandle. Property owners dealing with storm damage may also face difficult questions about what their insurance covers and whether the insurer’s estimate accounts for the necessary repairs.
Storm information: Florida’s official recovery update.
Pimentel Law reviews hurricane insurance disputes involving:
- Roof damage and disagreements over repair versus replacement.
- Water intrusion affecting ceilings, walls, flooring, and other interior finishes.
- Claims denied based on alleged wear, deterioration, or preexisting damage.
- Estimates that omit damaged areas or necessary repair work.
- Disagreements about deductibles, depreciation, and payment calculations.
- Delays in inspections, coverage decisions, or payment.
- Damage to commercial buildings and association property.
Coverage depends on the policy and the cause of the damage. We examine those issues alongside the photographs, inspection findings, estimates, and claim correspondence.
What to do if your Hurricane Isaias claim was denied or underpaid
Start by gathering the insurance company’s written decision and estimate. Keep copies of your policy, photographs, contractor estimates, inspection reports, and communications with the adjuster.
A denial letter or payment estimate provides a starting point for understanding the insurer’s position. We can review the reasons given, identify disputed damage or missing documentation, and discuss the available next steps.
If you have received a payment, include the payment letter and any settlement or release documents when requesting a review.
Protect your property and document the damage
Report damage promptly. When it is safe, photograph and record the affected areas before repairs begin. Make necessary emergency repairs to prevent further damage, and save the related photographs, invoices, and receipts.
Keep damaged materials available for inspection when safe and practical. If something must be discarded because it poses a safety or health concern, document it first. Keep receipts for temporary housing and other expenses related to the loss.

Questions about your claim
The insurance company says my roof damage is wear and tear. Can you review that?
Yes. We can examine the insurer’s explanation, the policy language, and the available evidence concerning the condition of the roof and the reported storm damage.
My contractor’s estimate is higher than the insurance estimate. What should I do?
Keep both estimates. A review can identify whether the disagreement concerns missing work, repair methods, quantities, pricing, or coverage.
What should I have ready for a consultation?
Your policy, claim number, insurance company correspondence, payment letters, photographs, and any repair estimates are useful starting points.
