Insurance for Storm Damage
Serious damage from the majority of storms is covered under home and business insurance policies, but the ins and outs change. The amount you are responsible for paying depends on your premiums and deductibles, the age and structure of the building, the extent of your damage, property values in your neighborhood and much more.
The sooner you file claims, the easier getting payouts will be. You could get short shrift if you don't act quickly.
