Leveling the Playing Field in Property Insurance Claims

Insurance carriers frequently delay, underpay, or deny valid claims when homes and businesses suffer serious property damage. Led by partner Caroline M. Carollo, the firm property insurance team represents homeowners, commercial property owners, and mitigation contractors throughout Florida. From hurricane losses and windstorm damage to pipe bursts, mold damage, and fire destruction, the firm holds insurers accountable. Under Florida law, prevailing policyholders can often recover attorney fees from the insurer, enabling clients to pursue litigation without paying out-of-pocket legal expenses.

• Aggressive claims litigation for hurricane damage, roof leaks, and catastrophic tropical storm destruction.
• Comprehensive representation for pipe ruptures, water damage, mold contamination, and fire losses.
• Dedicated defense for commercial businesses and restoration contractors facing improper claim denials.
• Relentless bad faith insurance litigation to recover full replacement costs and loss of use compensation.
