A tornado knocked a tree onto my house—who do I file a claim with? Hurricane Helene, during its path north through the Gulf of Mexico, brought with it a wide band of strong winds that triggered tornadoes and tropical storms across the Florida peninsula. These storms damaged homes, especially from falling trees.
If a tree fell on your home last week, you’re probably wondering if your homeowner’s insurance will cover it.
It’s important to note that if the tree was already diseased, showing signs of termites, rot, or fungus, your insurer might deny the claim, citing homeowner negligence. This is why it’s crucial to keep your trees healthy and well-maintained.
If your neighbor’s tree fell onto your house and caused damage, you’ll still need to file the claim with your own insurance. This is typically one of the perils, or risks, covered under standard homeowner’s insurance policies.
If you’re unsure how to file your claim, remember that Univista Insurance is here for you.
