Tampa, FL
From wildfires to hurricanes, Tampa has endured its share of natural disasters. There is not much we can do when our homes are in the path of these natural events. The only thing we can do is hope our insurance company will provide us with enough funds to repair the damage.
Even though we pay costly premiums to ensure our homes and other property are covered, insurance adjusters will often provide the bare minimum and may also deny a claim altogether. This can be a frustrating situation that may warrant litigation.
