What to learn
Lessons for current policyholders
Pre-storm photos of every elevation, roof, and major feature are the single best investment you can make in your claim.
Wind and flood are separate coverages. Know what you have before the storm.
Post-storm, carrier inspection and payment timelines stretch. Statutory deadlines still apply but enforcement is slower.
Post-declared-emergency AOB solicitation is restricted under FS 626.8696. Be wary of door-knockers.
