Mattlin & Wyman, PL offers Tips for Hurricane Preparedness

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boca Raton, Florida, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 16, 2010 -- Hurricane season 2010 is upon us. While we are all spending our time stocking our freezers and buying “D” size batteries, bottled water and generators, many of us are ignoring the single most important element of a hurricane protection plan – insurance. Most, if not all of you have insurance to protect your homes and commercial properties, but do you really know what coverage you have? Do you really know how to protect your rights under that policy when a “covered occurrence” takes place?

Tips for Hurricane Preparedness

1. Make sure the “named insured” under the policy matches identically to the true owner(s) of the property.

2. Document your property and belongings before and after the storm.

3. Immediately contact your insurer following a storm and document your communications.

4. A note about adjusters.

5. A note about deductibles and property protection.

6. “Actual Cash Value” versus “Replacement Cost” coverage.

If your insurance company is delaying or denying disbursement of payments as a result of a hurricane or other catastrophe, Mattlin & Wyman, PL can assist you. The time to contact them is immediately following your loss, after your insurer’s first failure to cooperate or failure to properly and promptly evaluate and adjust your claim.
