Why deadlines matter after a hurricane
Deadlines matter because insurers and courts enforce time limits and lost evidence can weaken your claim. Timely notice and documentation protect scope of loss, preserve mitigation credits, and reduce disputes over causation. Under Florida law the statute of limitations for breach of contract claims is generally five years, but policy provisions and procedural requirements can create shorter deadlines. Acting quickly preserves your ability to pursue a full settlement and avoid late filing issues.
Common timeframes and policy requirements
Most insurance policies require prompt notice of loss, cooperation with the insurer, mitigation of further damage, and in some cases a written proof of loss. These policy obligations are not mere formalities; failing to follow them can jeopardize coverage or lead to denial. Because some policies include specific 'suit against us' clauses or limits, always review your policy and begin the claim process without delay.
Precise documentation is the backbone of a compliant claim. Photograph and video every damaged area, keep dated receipts for emergency repairs, preserve damaged property when feasible, and collect contractor or contractor estimate records. A well documented record supports scope, causation, and the value of repairs during negotiations or litigation.

Practical steps you should take now

A licensed public adjuster protects your rights, evaluates contractor bids, and negotiates to ensure your claim reflects the full extent of damage and complies with policy deadlines.
