Lightning storms in Florida are very common and can be very dangerous. In fact, lightning storms often occur over 100 days in Florida each year and Florida ranks first in average lightning death per year. In addition to causing injuries, lightning can cause significant damage to your property.
In general, standard homeowner’s and business insurance policies in Florida should cover lightning-related damage, including fire and smoke damage caused by lightning, and resulting power surges to a home or business. With over 100 million volts in each bolt of lightning, a lightning strike could fry every electrical component in your home or business. If the insurance company denies or attempts to underpay you for a lightning damage claim, you need an experienced insurance attorney on your side. |
