While nobody can restore your life to pre-Hurricane Sandy, our firm has extensive experience dealing with insurance companies, claims adjusters and experts in the field of valuation and damages. While you may file a claim on your own, keep in mind that insurance companies are looking for ways to either deny your claim outright or greatly diminish your recovery. Hurricane Sandy claims are handled s
imilarly to other storm damage claims but there are some differences. One common tactic that is employed by insurance companies or their adjusters is stating that damage is “flood damage”. Flood damage is usually not covered by homeowner’s insurance policies or business interruption policies. It is important that people that have suffered losses as a result of Hurricane Sandy realize that just because they are told it is “flood” damage doesn’t always mean that the loss is not covered. Fishbeyn, Briskin & Shakhnevich (Sandy Law Group) is currently processing hurricane claims against insurance companies for claim denial, claim delay, loss of use of home, property damage, roof damage, loss of use of business, water damage, water damage caused by wind and bad faith claim handling as well as other types of claims. If your insurance company does not fulfill or honor their obligation to pay for damage caused by Hurricane Sandy then you should consult with an experienced insurance claim lawyer.
