Florida homeowners know that hailstorms can strike with little warning, leaving behind significant roof, window, and exterior damage.
When your property sustains hail damage, the claims process can feel overwhelming, long, and exhausting, especially when your insurance company behaves in an unethical manner.
At JT Law Firm, we make sure you’re not left guessing. Our team communicates with you at every stage, explains your options clearly, and prepares your claim to be as strong as possible.
We fight to secure the highest possible payout, so you can repair your property and move forward as fast as possible.
Common Types of Hail Damage
Hail can cause a surprising range of structural and cosmetic damage, much of which isn’t immediately visible. Commonsigns include:
- Roof Damage: Dents, cracked shingles, or missing granules that compromise your roof’s integrity.
- Gutter and Siding Damage: Dents, cracks, and loosened panels that expose your home to water intrusion.
- Window and Frame Damage: Chipped glass, damaged seals, or warped window frames.
- AC Unit and Exterior Fixtures: Dented equipment that can reduce performance or cause future breakdowns.
Our legal team partners with roofing, window, electrical, and property inspection professionals to document every detail to help ensure that even subtle, hidden damage is included in your claim.
Will My Insurance Company Pay for My Hail Damage?
Most Florida homeowner’s insurance policies cover hail damage. In practice, many insurers try to minimize payouts by claiming the damage is “cosmetic,” “wear and tear,” or “preexisting.”
That’s where JT Law Firm steps in. Our hail damage lawyers:
- Conduct a full policy review to determine your coverage rights.
- Coordinate independent inspections to confirm the full extent of your losses.
- Handle all communications with your insurance company so you don’t have to.
- Prepare every case from the start as if it’s going to trial, thus giving us maximum leverage in negotiations.

What Are Common Reasons for Denied Hail Damage Claims in Florida?
Insurance companies use various excuses to deny or underpay hail claims. The most common include:
- Blaming “wear and tear” or roof age instead of acknowledging storm damage.
- Claiming the damage is minor or cosmetic and doesn’t affect functionality.
- Citing missed deadlines for reporting or filing your claim.
- Relying on incomplete inspections that fail to document all areas of damage.
If you’ve experienced any of these issues, it may not be too late to act. Our team can step in, review your denial letter, and challenge the insurance company’s decision.

Hail Damage in Florida FAQs
How long do I have to file a hail damage claim in Florida?
You generally have one year from the date of loss for hurricane or storm-related claims, but it’s best to file as soon as possible to avoid disputes or missed deadlines.
Can I get compensation if my roof only shows minor hail dents?
Yes. Even minor damage can worsen over time and lead to leaks or reduced lifespan.
What if my insurance company says the hail damage is only cosmetic?
We can challenge that. Often, what insurers call “cosmetic” actually compromises the roof’s performance or protective layers.
How does JT Law Firm handle communication during the claim?
We keep you updated every step of the way, so you’re never left wondering about your claim status.
What if my hail claim was denied?
You still have options. JT Law Firm can reopen and dispute denied or underpaid claims to pursue the full compensation you deserve.
