Floodwater can leave you with ruined flooring, swollen cabinets, and repair bills that arrive before the insurance company finishes its inspection. A Palm Beach flood insurance claim lawyer at JT Law Firm can help you understand your coverage, document your losses, and challenge an unfair claim decision. We give homeowners personal attention while pursuing the full payment their policy supports.
Extreme Rainfall Caused Flash Flooding Across South and Central Florida
The November 2026 flooding affected communities along Florida’s east coast. Florida Storms reported 16–22 inches of rain across portions of southern Brevard County in a single day, with flooding also affecting the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County. Those regional totals show the storm’s severity, but your insurance claim needs evidence of what happened at your property.
Palm Beach Gardens Saw Reports of Nearly 17 Inches of Rain in Six Hours
Florida Storms reported an estimated 17 inches in six hours around Palm Beach Gardens. Separately, the city’s November 2 update reported more than 15 inches in approximately 12 hours in parts of Palm Beach Gardens, Riviera Beach, and The Acreage. The reports use different measurement periods. City officials identified flooding in areas including PGA National, Steeplechase, and Horseshoe Acres.
How Can You Get Help for Your Flood Damage?
Begin with your policy and the source of the water. Rising water entering from your yard raises different coverage questions from rain entering through a damaged roof. Our review of water damage and intrusion claims identifies the policy provisions relevant to the way water entered your home.
Did You Have an Active Flood Insurance Policy at the Time the Flooding Occurred?
Standard homeowners insurance generally excludes flooding. A separate National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policy or private flood policy may provide coverage, subject to its terms. We check the effective dates, insured address, deductibles, and whether you purchased building coverage, contents coverage, or both. An active policy is the starting point; the damage must also qualify under its coverage provisions.
NFIP coverage generally requires a signed, sworn proof of loss within 60 days after the loss, unless a FEMA-authorized extension or other applicable waiver changes the requirement. Private policies can have different deadlines. Don’t assume that an adjuster’s visit satisfies every filing requirement.
Claim Strength Is Determined by How Much Evidence Can Be Gathered
Strong evidence connects the flood to specific damage and explains what restoration will cost. A photograph of a flooded street provides context. Photos showing waterlines inside your home, paired with itemized repair estimates, tell the insurer much more about your covered loss.
Useful records include:
- Photos and videos of affected rooms before cleanup or demolition.
- An inventory of damaged belongings, with appliance model and serial numbers.
- Drying records, moisture readings, and mitigation invoices.
- Repair estimates identifying the work required and its cost.
JT Law Firm helps organize your property damage insurance claim, identify gaps in the inspection, and work with contractors or engineers when the damage requires further assessment. Once it’s safe, document conditions promptly and take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. You shouldn’t leave hazardous materials in place simply to preserve evidence; photograph them when safely possible and retain relevant receipts.
Your Valid Claim Deserves to Be Paid
You deserve payment for covered damage under your policy. If an estimate overlooks damaged cabinets or a denial disputes how water entered, the response should address that specific issue with supporting evidence. Our property damage law firm reviews the insurer’s explanation and evaluates the available options for pursuing additional payment.
Our results include a $4,554,855.84 recovery for a Hurricane Ian community claim involving tile-roof damage, after an initial insurance assessment of just over $1.2 million.
