Up until last year, Vernita Tillman lived in her west Orlando home for 22 years with little trouble, but Hurricane Ian changed that. The heavy rain caused severe damage to her home’s roof and drywall. Tillman said she filed a claim with her insurance company she has been using for over 20 years, but to no avail.

 

“I showed them this water spot (in the ceiling) and my concern of, you know, ‘Is this going to come through?’ And they said it just wasn’t enough,” she said. According to Tillman, the insurance adjuster representing her insurance carrier advised her the damages were not enough to merit an insurance claim. No surprise! Sadly, this is a typical response as these adjusters are paid by the insurance carrier and have all the incentive to deny claims.

 

That was the first and only claim she would ever file with that company — they not only denied her claim but then dropped her as a policyholder.

 

After that visit, the water spot Tillman referenced had to be patched. That part of the roof did indeed “come through,” as she had suggested. She said she was grateful the bed was not directly underneath the hole when it happened.

 

Unfortunately, Tillman is just one of hundreds of thousands of examples and insurance companies not living up to their obligations under your policy and getting away with it.

 

This week marks 1 year since the passing of Hurricane Ian. A year later, and already deep into a new storm season, many locals are still trying to recover from Ian and hundreds of thousands of homeowners like Tillman have had to foot their own repairs.

 

In June, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation reported Hurricane Ian resulted in more than 700,000 insurance claims statewide. While some claims remain open, over 86% of them have been closed, and nearly 200,000 of them were closed without payment.
