VIP Adjusting Response to Hurricane Sally in NW Florida
The public adjusters from VIP Adjusting have responded to NW Florida to assist insureds with damage related to Hurricane Sally
It's in our nature to help people in any way we can, and as the track of Hurricane Sally continued to shift east before making landfall, our public adjusters made preparations to respond in Pensacola if the need should arise.
Several hotel reservations were made throughout the area in case power was knocked out or damage was widespread like we saw in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael in Panama City in 2018.
As it turned out, the storm made landfall just about right on the Florida-Georgia line. Our public adjusters immediately mobilized and went to help.
The damages caused by Hurricane Sally
Hurricane Sally made landfall as a Category 2 storm and took its sweet time passing through. Although the winds weren't incredible like the ones from Hurricane Michael, the length of time it spent in the area allowed those winds to do some damages. The whole area saw downed trees and many areas were without power for quite some time. Our public adjusters have also observed missing shingles and damaged roofs, as well as damage caused by projectiles.
Closer to the coast and along the water, there was significant damage caused by storm surge and flooding, causing many businesses along the beach, in downtown, and in Perdido Key to have to shut down for repairs.
Public Adjusting Services for Hurricane Victims
VIP Adjusting's public adjusters remain ready, willing, and able to assist homeowners who have sustained damage from the storm with making sure they're fairly paid by their insurance company. That’s our job; to be a check on your insurance company and make sure they’re looking out for you instead of their own interests.
We know there's a big military presence in and around Pensacola and that many service members are insured by USAA. Just because an insurance company insures service members and their families does not mean they are perfect, and we are happy to provide a free claim review to anyone who has received an undisputed payment, and we're also happy to provide references from Panama City whose USAA claims we helped them with.
In addition to homeowners, our public adjusters have experience with commercial building and construction that is invaluable for evaluating commercial insurance claims, and we've handled a number of business interruption claims from multiple storms.
Florida Claims Only!
Unfortunately, as much as we'd like to help all storm victims, Alabama prohibits public adjusting, and although there's significant damage across the Florida border, our services will be offered for Florida residents only.
If you or a loved one have a home or business that's sustained damage in the Pensacola area, VIP Adjusting's public adjusters are happy to provide a free claim evaluation and consultation. Please call today, or contact us, and we'll be more than willing to discuss.
