- Structural damage – the winds caused by hurricanes can tear roofs off, knock trees down, shatter windows, and more, causing you to need extensive repairs or in some cases a complete rebuild
- Debris damage – flying debris can cause extensive damage because of the high winds, branches, traffic signs, and other objects can be projected through windows, doors, roofs, and more
- Electrical damage – hurricane winds often knock down power lines leaving properties without electricity for extended periods of time, this can also lead to electrical fires
- Landscaping or damaged mature trees
Common Issues Policy Holders Face
When filing a homeowners insurance claim, policyholders may face a few issues. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always act in good faith and uphold their promises. Insurance companies may act in bad faith by:
