Theft Damage 

It's an incredibly hard thing to imagine or even deal with when some has come into your home, stole your belongings and vandalized your home. Your personal space has been violated and priceless mementos can end up stolen or destroyed. So now you are left with making repairs, replacing what was stolen, and contacting the police. These acts all result in having to pay more money out of pocket replacing it all.

​

Florida homeowner’s insurance policies do cover theft damage. Although filing these types of claims can be complicated because theft, burglary, and vandalism are usually listed as individual types of damage on most homeowner’s insurance policies. Which means each event will require you to pay a separate deductible. You’ have to pay a deductible for each section, meaning the vandalism, another for theft, and so on.

 

Paying the money for all of these deductibles, isn't even worth it because they’re likely worth more than the affected property. The good news is you can avoid these types of situations if you know how to properly file your claim. That’s a task which a skilled property damage attorney can help you with.
