$159,500 Recovery for Port Saint Lucie Tropical Storm Eta Claim
The Problem
Our client’s home in Port Saint Lucie, Florida was damaged by Tropical Storm Eta, including roof damage that required replacement. He immediately reported the loss to his insurance company and opened a claim.
Despite the urgency, more than 220 days passed with no decision, no payment, and no communication from the insurer — leaving our client unable to repair his roof and protect his home from further damage.
Our Approach
Jimenez Legal was hired to break through the delay. Our attorneys:
- Sent a formal demand letter seeking immediate payment and warning of bad faith consequences
- Filed a lawsuit when the insurer failed to respond
- Prepared expert reports and a full damages estimate proving the cost of replacing the tile roof
- Maintained aggressive litigation pressure to compel a fair resolution
The Result
Within just seven months of litigation, our firm secured $159,500 for our client, giving him the funds to install a brand-new tile roof and restore his property.
Key Takeaway
Insurance companies sometimes delay claims for months — but legal action can force them to act and result in full payment for necessary repairs.
