Lightning Damage

Hurricane Damage Attorneys in Orlando, Serving all of Florida

According to the National Weather Service, Florida has the highest number of lightning casualties of all 50 states. Lightning also causes a tremendous amount of property damage around the state. Buildings struck by lightning can burn down; power surges can enter a home or business through a power line, damaging appliances, security systems, computers, and even the wiring itself. Quite often, all the wiring in a structure has to be replaced. Lightning can also cause leaks in a building's plumbing.

Your insurance company has a duty to provide you with the help you need when your place of residence or business has sustained lightning damage. Attorney Michael D.
