The insurance landscape in Florida is almost as turbulent as storm season is along the coast, and navigating your way through an insurance claim for your condo association (COA) adds even more stress to an already stressful situation. There is immense pressure on the board of directors to ensure recovery goes smoothly and swiftly, but insurance companies in Florida often drag their feet and come up with myriad reasons to deny or underpay COA insurance claims.
To that end, it can be beneficial to partner with an attorney who specializes in community law and insurance law – even better is to hire an attorney on retainer so you can ask your questions about insurance law, policies and coverage anytime.
Why Hire an Attorney on Retainer
Community law attorneys add significant value to COAs. Having one on retainer means you’ll have unlimited access to legal counsel, predictable billing and access to a repository of educational resources. When it comes to insurance claims specifically, your association attorney can help guide you through policy reviews, ensure your COA is maintaining appropriate insurance coverage, and take the lead on filing an insurance claim with your provider.
All too often condo associations wait until there is a major issue or pending litigation before reaching out to an attorney. With a lawyer on retainer, you have someone who knows your community already, so you don’t have to waste time searching for new legal counsel. What’s more, you will likely be able to prevent many expensive issues from arising in the first place by consulting your attorney early and often. This can save your COA expensive court fees, additional litigation costs, and headaches.
