$129,000 Recovery for Davie Summer Storm Roof Leak
The Problem
Our clients’ home in Davie, Florida suffered a roof leak after a summer storm producing winds of around 40 mph. The storm caused broken and shifted roof tiles, allowing rainwater to enter the home and damage the office, master bedroom, and bathroom.
Despite never having suffered a prior roof leak, their insurance company denied the claim entirely, stating there was no wind damage and blaming the leaks on “long-term roof deficiencies.”
Our Approach
Jimenez Legal was retained to dispute this wrongful denial. Our attorneys:
- Hired independent roofing experts to inspect the damage and confirm it was storm-related
- Filed a lawsuit challenging the insurer’s determination and demanding full coverage
- Presented photographic evidence and expert reports showing the damage was sudden, not wear-and-tear
- Aggressively litigated the case through discovery and negotiation, keeping pressure on the insurer
The Result
After a hard-fought legal battle, we recovered $129,000 for our clients — enough to fully replace their roof and repair the storm-damaged interior rooms.
Key Takeaway
Insurance companies often deny roof claims by blaming “long-term wear and tear.” With legal action and expert evidence, homeowners can reverse denials and secure the funds needed to restore their property.
