How To Protect Yourself

There are a number of ways to protect yourself from theft insurance bad faith aside from paying increased premiums.  Even the most basic homeowner’s insurance policies cover the theft of items within the home, a complete inventory of your valuable possessions is a good place to start.  By having written and photographic documentation of theft prone items in your home you may be able to avoid the insurance companies denial or undervaluing of your claim.  Some of the most important possessions to document are electronics and art as they are especially appealing to burglars.

Further, it is important to determine the replacement cost of valuable possessions before any theft occurs.  In doing so, you can protect yourself from homeowners insurance bad faith. Insurance companies have an unfortunate tendency to pay less than your property is actually worth in the event of a theft.  It becomes far more difficult for your homeowners insurance carrier to undervalue your possessions if you have taken these preventative steps.

As mentioned before, most homeowners and business theft insurance policies should cover the full valuable of possessions lost in a robbery or home break-in.  Some insurance companies, though, have continuously devalued items and put the financial burden of replacing electronics, expensive art, and other items back on the individual.  If you believe this to be the case your insurance carrier is acting in bad faith and you may be able to recover more money and lessen the financial consequences of your theft.  Allen & Abaray, P.A. is here to help.

No Attorney Fees Paid Upfront

Allen & Abaray, P.A. recognizes that many people do not have the bank account to fight the large corporate insurance companies in a law suit. In addition, the Florida legislature recognizes that fact as well so they created Florida Statute 627.428 which allows the prevailing party in an insurance dispute to recover a reasonable attorney fee. As such our firm is willing to operate on a contingent fee basis which means you pay nothing upfront or along the way. You do not pay us an attorney fee or costs unless we get you a settlement or a verdict in your favor.
