Question:
How much does it cost to hire a property damage attorney in Southwest Florida?
Answer:
In Florida, it can take from a day or two to several weeks on average to get a property damage claim settled. It depends on how fast the at fault party’s insurance company can conduct investigation because they want to verify your facts, how the accident happened, by obtaining police reports, independent statements, statements from their insured. Sometimes insurers don’t report the claims right away so things can drag out a little bit. Most people report actions right away to their insurance companies and insurance companies have a duty to act quickly and in good faith. Normally, it would take just a few days to get your property damage claim settled or at least started so that they can get the damages appraised and pay you for your loss. If that doesn’t happen in a timely fashion, it’s not always on the insurance company. It could be the insurer. It could be their looking for an independent witness to verify what happened. Sometimes police make mistakes in their reports, so they want to verify exactly what happened before they pay your claim, but generally speaking, within a few days to within a week, most property damage claims are either settled or things are in motion to get them settled in a fast manner.

If they don’t, then we can file suit. Generally, insurance companies are pretty good about paying claims. Therefore, we’re not called upon too often to file these claims but we can and if we also file an injury claim we can add on the property damage claim which is what we do quite frequently primarily in Florida for loss of use of the vehicle and diminished value, which are damages you’re entitled to be compensated for from the at fault party.
