The Tragic Stories of Hurricane Milton’s Victims
Everyone who encountered Hurricane Milton ended up with very different problems, some minor, some life-altering. Some homes and businesses were flooded, while others lost portions of their roofing. Either way, everyone deserves fair compensation and a full recovery.
Property Damage Turned Struggles Into Hardships
Many property owners discovered the hard way that they didn’t have the right type of insurance coverage to help them receive compensation for damages caused by Hurricane Milton. For instance, many homeowners were denied coverage for flood damage even though their policy included water damage. That’s because most insurance companies count floods separate from other types of water damage.
In hurricane-prone areas, it also pays to have roof damage coverage. Hurricane Milton even managed to tear up some of the roofing off of Tropicana Field. If a giant stadium can’t hold its own in these conditions, then a house or condo won’t stand a chance.
The Small Business Killer
Countless reports have been made of small business owners permanently shutting down operations or completely relocating their establishments after the damage caused by Hurricane Milton. Local shops often struggle enough as it is, and situations like these can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
There are various reasons for businesses failing after a hurricane such as loss of income, the cost of repairs, and any other financially debilitating reason. In many cases, having the right kind of insurance can be the saving grace that keeps businesses afloat.
