ABOUT SIMON LAW
Hurricane Insurance Experts
Insurance companies routinely delay paying legitimate claims and when they do get around to paying, they often underpay or deny. Simon Law is dedicated to helping Floridians recover the full amount of damages to which they are entitled to for their homes, businesses, investment properties, condominiums or condominium associations.
We Work on a Contingent Fees Basis
We work on a contingency fee basis.- there is no upfront payment required. We only get paid when you get paid. Sometimes our fee is paid by the insurance company. Otherwise it is paid out of the recovery from the insurance company.
Before you hire a public adjuster or another law firm, be aware that we often can match or beat what a public adjuster charges and we almost always charge less than large law firms. We do everything a public adjuster does and much more. In addition we will give you personalized attention, which you deserve when dealing with damage from a hurricane.
Like public adjusters, our expert estimators and engineers are capable of determining the scope and/or amount of your loss(es) caused by a hurricane and our experienced lawyers are capable of properly analyzing your insurance policy provisions to guide you through the claims or supplemental claims process.
However, unlike public adjusters, our lawyers can represent you at Examinations Under Oath ("EUO's"), we can competently draft and file Civil Remedies Notices ("CRN's), and most importantly we can file a lawsuit should your insurance company breach any of its contractual obligations owed to you, the policyholder. Make no mistake, public adjusters look to us when they cannot amicably resolve your claim and/or trigger appraisal.
Hurricanes Ian/Milton/Helene
It’s been over two year since Hurricane Ian, hit southwest Florida and there are still thousands of unresolved claims. Hurricane Helene and Milton occurred in 2024 and insurance companies are denying claims at record numbers. Often hurricane damage can be “latent” and not manifest itself immediately to the naked eye. This is especially true when it comes to tile roof damage attributable to, among other things, wind lift. Such damage is often difficult to identify if you are not trained as an engineer, hurricane loss consultant, and/or an expert roofer. What’s worse is that our experience has shown us that your own insurance company will likely retain a professional engineer who will not even inspect for wind lift. Based on these incomplete engineer inspections, you may even have your roof claim denied in full. Don’t let this happen to you.
Furthermore, all over Florida there are numerous salesmen and other potentially unqualified and/or dishonest individuals seeking to take advantage of you in your time of need. Don’t be fooled by a good “salesman” into signing away the rights to your insurance claim without at least speaking with a lawyer first.
