Diehl Legal, P.A. is thrilled to open our doors in sunny Tampa, Florida, where homeowners face unique challenges when it comes to insurance claims. If you've battled with denied or underpaid claims due to storm damage, hurricane damage, flood damage, or other unfortunate events, you've found the right ally.

Our goal is to help you navigate these tricky situations with clear support, energizing guidance, and our legal expertise based on a decade of working with, for and against insurance companies.

Why Insurance Claims Matter

Insurance claims are essential for homeowners to safeguard their most significant investments— their homes. When disaster strikes, whether from a hurricane, flood, or other damaging incidents, the burden of dealing with denied or underpaid claims can add unnecessary stress. In fact, many homeowners face claim denials due to misunderstandings about their policy coverage.

As a homeowner in Florida, your ability to recover hinges on a smooth insurance claims process. Unfortunately, many homeowners are unaware that their insurance policies often include limitations or complicated jargon that can lead to these frustrations.

We aim to provide the resources, guidance, and representation you need to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

Virtually every insurance policy contains exclusions, which can reduce the coverage your are owed for your property damage. We can help you navigate whether or not the exclusions apply to your claim!

Understanding Denied Insurance Claims

Having your insurance claim denied can be a significant hurdle for homeowners. Claims are often rejected due to specific technicalities that could be avoided with proper legal representation. For example, a lack of thorough documentation or misinterpretations about coverage could lead to a denial of claims that should have been approved, even if you did not intend for that to happen.

At our firm, we possess deep knowledge of the Florida insurance landscape. Some common reasons for claim denials include insufficient documentation, ambiguity in policy language, and exclusions for specific types of damage. In fact, claims may be denied solely due to paperwork errors based on burdens contained within complex policy language.

When your claim is denied, understanding the reasoning behind the decision is critical. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to analyzing every detail of your case, ensuring we leave no stone unturned in pursuing the compensation you deserve.

We will work with you to gather evidence, assemble documentation, and build a strong case to challenge the denial directly.

Approaching Underpaid Insurance Claims

Receiving an underpaid insurance claim can be just as disheartening as a denial. If you’ve been given a payout that does not reflect the true extent of your loss, we understand the sense of being short-changed.

For instance, if you suffer $50,000 worth of damage but receive a payout of only $30,000, that can greatly impact your recovery efforts. Insurance companies benefit from complex policy language and laws that permit them to withhold payments until certain conditions are triggered--conditions that you may not know about or may not be able to perform on your own.

We recommend starting with an initial consultation to evaluate how much your claim should have been worth and what the insurance company needs to see as proof of that value. Leveraging our extensive experience, we will challenge undervaluations and negotiate effectively to help you receive the full compensation you are entitled to.

Insurance may not immediately pay the full cost of repairs to your home. Fear not, because you may be able to ask for more. We can help you determine if the insurance company owes your additional policy benefits.

Insurance and Arbitration

In certain cases, denied or underpaid claims may proceed to arbitration, a process often outlined in insurance policies. Arbitration is a formal setting where both parties present their cases to a neutral third party.

Although this may seem intimidating, our law firm specializes in arbitration and can effectively advocate for you throughout this process. We will develop a detailed strategy tailored to your specific situation and prepare you for your hearings.

Our attorneys will ensure that your case is presented compellingly, maximizing your chances of a favorable outcome. We fight for the rights of homeowners and understand the importance of having strong legal support during arbitration.

Suing Insurance Companies

Sometimes, the insurance company might not get your claim handled correctly. In that unfortunate event, you may be able to sue your insurance company to force them to honor your policy benefits.

While lawsuits are not the easiest or friendliest way to resolve and insurance dispute, certain circumstances warrant legal action. At Diehl Legal, P.A., we are experienced with lawsuits stemming from property damage, insurance claim denials, and underpaid insurance claims. We can and will fight for every dollar your insurance policy entitles you to receive.
