What Do I Do If I Have a Sinkhole on My Property?
Posted By Darrigo & Diaz
Sinkholes are unfortunately not uncommon in Florida, and can cause serious property damage and personal injury. If you have noticed cracks in the foundation, walls, or ceiling of your home, or have found unusual depressions or holes in the ground around your property, it is important to have your property tested to determine if the damage is being caused by a sinkhole. If you determine that a sinkhole is the culprit, you may have a claim for compensation from your insurance company.
If you have discovered a sinkhole on your property, the important thing is to get it assessed and repaired quickly. It is urgent that you immediately contact an attorney who can then assist you with an investigation as well as with the claims process through your insurer. Despite what they’d like you to believe, insurance companies do not exist to protect your best interests – rather, they are notorious for finding ways not to pay the fair amount of coverage for which a homeowner has paid. When you work with an attorney who is experienced with negotiating with insurance companies, your chances of a successful claim may increase dramatically.
