Experienced Lawyers in Florida Fire Insurance Disputes
If you recently suffered a fire at your home, apartment or business, you’ll naturally look to your property insurance to make good on your losses. You probably have no idea what you’re getting into.
While many homeowners, business or renters’ insurance claims go through with only minor disputes over valuation of particular losses, any major fire will be investigated for arson, and the owner is more often than not high on the list of potential suspects motivated to set a fire for insurance purposes.
Unless arson is immediately eliminated as a likely cause of your fire, you should consider retaining experienced counsel to advise you about the best ways to protect your interest in receiving full reimbursement for your losses while avoiding the risk of prosecution for arson in any degree. Contact The Law Offices of Michael B. Brehne, P.A., to learn more about the best ways to get through a difficult fire loss claim.

Even when arson is not an issue, you can expect a certain resistance to full payment on repair or replacement of personal property damaged by fire, water or smoke. Loss of use, additional living expenses (ALE) and business interruption will also be important components of your proof of loss. If your fire loss occurred at about the same time as a hurricane or other natural disaster, the long line of property owners in need of repairs could mean six months or a year of temporary living or commercial arrangements.
When arson is suspected, however, it makes sense to work with lawyers who stay current with the emerging trends and shortcomings of arson investigation. At The Law Offices of Michael B. Brehne, P.A., our attorneys know just how inexact a science arson investigation can be, and we know how to challenge the investigator’s credentials and methods used to support referrals for prosecution.
Our goal in fire loss cases is to help our clients recover the greatest amount possible for covered losses while protecting them from the possibility of prosecution for arson or insurance fraud.
