Commercial windstorm claim increased from $23,484 to $345,000

A Tampa-area church sustained significant windstorm damage, but the insurance carrier's initial evaluation resulted in a payment of only $23,484.22.

Commercial losses require careful documentation because roofing systems, interior finishes, specialized building components, code requirements, and the sheer size of the property can dramatically affect repair costs. American Financial Claims developed a comprehensive scope of the storm-related damages and worked to demonstrate the true cost of restoring the property.

The claim was ultimately resolved for $345,000, more than $321,000 above the original payment.
