Living in Naples means living with the constant possibility of weather-related property damage, from hurricane-force winds to sudden floodwaters.

That’s where we come in.

At Your Insurance Attorney, we work with homeowners in Naples and across Southwest Florida to take the pressure off when dealing with insurance companies. Our legal team helps you document the damage, challenge unfair claim decisions, and pursue the full amount you’re entitled to, not just what the insurer wants to pay.

Why You Need a Florida Property Damage Lawyer

Over $1 Billion Recovered Badge

Insurance companies know most homeowners won’t push back. That’s why denied and underpaid claims happen so often, especially in regions like Naples, where hurricane damage is common and costly. Our firm helps level the playing field.

Here’s what sets Your Insurance Attorney apart:

  • We act fast. We immediately investigate your claim, collect independent estimates, and handle all communication with your insurer.
  • We know the tactics. We’ve seen insurers blame “wear and tear,” allege late reporting, or undervalue structural damage. We’re ready for those games.
  • We protect your time and sanity. While we handle paperwork, evidence, and negotiations, you can focus on getting your home back in order.
  • We never charge unless we recover for you. No upfront fees. No surprise costs. Just results.

Our Naples lawyers assist with everything from initial claim filings to aggressive litigation when necessary. Whether you’re facing water intrusion, roof collapse, or post-hurricane destruction, we’re prepared to take your case seriously — and personally.

You’re not just a policy number to us. You’re a homeowner who deserves to be treated fairly.

Naples Properties Are Especially Vulnerable to Severe Damage

Naples is known for its coastal beauty, but also for its exposure to hurricanes, tropical storms, and heavy seasonal rains. Local homes often suffer damage that’s unique to our geography and climate, making it even more important to work with someone familiar with the area.

Common issues we see in Naples include:

  • Roof damage from high winds and debris
  • Siding and window damage caused by hurricanes
  • Flooding from storm surges or backed-up canals
  • Mold growth in walls, attics, and HVAC systems
  • Foundation cracks caused by shifting soils or water pressure

Because insurers are also aware of how frequently these losses occur in Collier County, they often take a skeptical approach to claims. That means Naples homeowners face added scrutiny — and more reasons to be denied or shortchanged.

Whether your home is near Old Naples, East Naples, or Golden Gate Estates, our team understands the risks local properties face and how to fight for full coverage under Florida law.

You Deserve More Than a Quick Payout: You Deserve What’s Right

It’s not uncommon for an insurance company to offer a settlement quickly after damage occurs, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right amount. In fact, early offers are often far less than what’s truly needed to repair the home and restore its value.

Without professional review, you could end up:

  • Accepting a settlement that doesn’t cover full repairs
  • Overlooking hidden damage that shows up later (like mold or structural weakness)
  • Waiving your rights to pursue supplemental claims
  • Paying out-of-pocket for contractor fees, materials, or temporary housing

That’s why having a Naples Property damage lawyer on your side from the start makes a real difference. We’ll review your policy, help you estimate the true cost of loss, and identify any areas the insurance company is underestimating — or ignoring entirely.

Our goal isn’t a fast fix. It’s the full recovery you’re owed. We don’t let insurers rush the process at your expense.

You Don’t Pay Us Unless You Get Paid

One of the biggest concerns we hear from homeowners is: “Can I afford a lawyer?” With Your Insurance Attorney, the answer is simple — yes.

Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means:

  • You pay nothing up front
  • We cover all legal and investigative costs
  • We only get paid if we win money for you

If you’ve already spent money on emergency repairs or temporary lodging, the last thing you need is another financial burden. That’s why we built our firm around serving people just like you — homeowners dealing with sudden loss and unfair treatment.

There’s no risk in reaching out. If your claim was denied, lowballed, or ignored, let’s talk. We can review your case at no cost, and if we believe your insurer isn’t honoring their obligations, we’ll fight back.

Call (888) 570-5677 to get started. You’ve got enough to worry about. Let us handle the rest.

The Most Common Types of Home Damage in Naples

Naples homeowners face some of the most challenging weather risks in Florida. From powerful storms to hidden moisture problems, property damage here can be widespread, expensive, and difficult to detect without professional help. Understanding what types of damage commonly affect Naples homes is the first step toward knowing what to document — and how to fight back if your insurance company tries to downplay the loss.

Some of the most frequent types of home damage we help with include:

  • Wind and impact damage: Hurricane-force winds can tear shingles from roofs, smash windows, and cause trees to crash into homes.
  • Water intrusion: Whether from heavy rain, storm surge, or plumbing failures, water damage often leads to rot, structural weakening, and mold.
  • Mold contamination: Mold is especially common in Naples due to humidity. Once it sets in, it can destroy drywall, cabinetry, insulation, and HVAC systems.
  • Roof leaks or collapse: Naples roofs are often battered by repeated storms and UV exposure. Even a small leak can cause massive interior damage over time.
  • Foundation damage: Long-term exposure to shifting soil or flood pressure can crack foundations or lead to dangerous settling.

The problem is, many of these issues aren’t immediately visible. Insurers may use that as a reason to deny your claim or argue that the damage isn’t covered. That’s why it’s critical to have your property evaluated independently and to work with a lawyer who understands how to build a solid case for coverage.

How to Properly Document Your Property Damage

After a loss, it’s tempting to start cleaning up right away — but that can be a costly mistake if you haven’t documented everything for your claim. The quality of your evidence often determines how seriously the insurance company takes your case. In Naples, where weather-related claims are frequent, insurers are especially detail-oriented.

Here’s how to build strong documentation:

  • Take clear photos and videos of every room, corner, and damaged area.
    • Capture close-ups and wide shots from multiple angles.
    • Include timestamps when possible.
  • Record damaged personal property.
    • List electronics, furniture, appliances, and other contents.
    • Note their original value and approximate purchase dates.
  • Keep a written log of what happened and when.
    • When you noticed the damage
    • When you contacted your insurance provider
    • All communication you’ve had with them since
  • Retain all repair receipts, estimates, or service calls.
    • Include anything related to temporary fixes like tarps or board-ups.

If it’s too overwhelming to handle alone, that’s okay. Our team can step in to help organize your evidence and even connect you with independent adjusters or contractors who can back up your claim with credible estimates.

What Florida Law Says About Your Rights as a Homeowner

Florida has specific statutes that protect homeowners, especially when it comes to insurance disputes. But unless you’re familiar with these laws, you might not realize when your rights are being violated — or when your insurer is taking advantage of technicalities to avoid paying.

Here are a few key points you should know:

  • You have the right to file a claim within 1 year of discovering damage. That includes hurricane-related losses or hidden issues that appear later.
  • Supplemental claims — for damage found after your first claim — can be filed up to 18 months from the original date of loss.
  • Insurers must acknowledge your claim within 14 days and make a decision on coverage within 60 days of receiving your proof-of-loss.
  • Delays, bad faith negotiations, or vague denials may be grounds for legal action.

Many insurance companies hope homeowners won’t push back. They might delay processing your claim, send an adjuster who minimizes the damage, or offer a low payout and claim it’s the best they can do.

But Florida law requires more. If your insurer isn’t acting in good faith or complying with deadlines, our team can hold them accountable — whether through negotiation, mediation, or filing a lawsuit if necessary.

Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Home Damage Claim in Naples

Even when your damage is obvious and your policy should cover it, the smallest misstep can cause an insurance company to delay or deny your claim. In Florida, where laws are strict and deadlines are tight, knowing what not to do is just as important as taking the right steps.

Here are common mistakes we see homeowners in Naples make — and how to avoid them:

  • Cleaning up before taking photos or videos: Always document damage before doing any cleanup or temporary repairs. If it’s gone, it didn’t happen (according to your insurer).
  • Throwing away damaged items: Unless a public health issue forces disposal, hang on to damaged furniture, appliances, or debris until after your adjuster sees them.
  • Failing to notify your insurer promptly: Florida law gives you time, but most policies require “prompt” notice. Don’t wait weeks to report the damage.
  • Accepting the first offer without review: Initial settlements are often low. Don’t sign anything without understanding the full cost of repair or replacement.
  • Making undocumented temporary repairs: If you install a tarp or remove carpet due to water damage, photograph every step. Keep receipts.

At Your Insurance Attorney, we review your documentation and timeline to make sure nothing weakens your claim. If your insurer is trying to use one of these technicalities against you, we know how to push back.

What to Do If Your Insurance Claim Was Denied or Underpaid

If your insurance company rejected your claim or gave you far less than you need to repair your home, you’re not alone. Denials and lowball offers are common across Florida — especially in coastal cities like Naples where claims are frequent and costly.

Here’s what you should do next:

  1. Request a written explanation: Florida law requires insurers to state why they’re denying or reducing your claim. Get that in writing.
  2. Don’t give up — get a second opinion: Hire a public adjuster or contractor to assess your damage independently. Their estimate may prove the insurer was wrong.
  3. Review your policy in full: Look for coverage for hidden water damage, mold, additional living expenses, or roof replacement. Don’t rely on your insurer’s interpretation alone.
  4. Contact a Naples property damage lawyer: Legal representation forces the insurer to take your case seriously. We handle negotiations, file appeals, and prepare for court if needed.

You paid for protection. If your insurer refuses to honor that, we’ll help you fight back. There’s no fee unless we recover money for you — and we’ve helped homeowners across Florida stand up to even the largest insurance companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Florida law gives homeowners one year from the date they discover property damage to file a claim and up to 18 months to file a supplemental claim. However, acting sooner can improve your chances.

Yes. We assist homeowners at any stage — whether your claim is pending, denied, or underpaid. The earlier we get involved, the more we can help.

You can file a supplemental claim if the full extent of the damage wasn’t discovered at first. Keep documenting, and contact us as soon as possible.

Policies typically cover wind, storm, fire, and water damage (though flood and mold coverage may require additional endorsements). We can help you interpret the fine print.

No. If you believe the amount is too low or misses important repairs, you have the right to dispute it — and we can help build the case to show your loss.
