Fighting for Property Owners in Insurance Disputes.
Property owners in Florida pay very high premiums for property insurance. In exchange, when there is a loss, they rightfully expect their insurer to pay the claim. Sadly, that is often not the case. Through delay and denial, insurance carriers frequently tilt the odds in their favor, taking advantage of property owners at the height of their distress.
Our insurance lawyers at Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen even those odds. We have significant experience in property claims stemming from all sorts of casualties, as well as the business interruption or loss of income claims that often accompany them. We have resolved property claims against Lloyds of London, Citizens, Indian Harbor, Clarendon and others, and in the process recovered millions of dollars for our clients.

Unlike a third-party insurance claim, where property owners are either being sued or suing someone else, a first-party property insurance claim involves damage to your own property.
When disaster strikes, you may be dealing with significant costs, from the actual clean-up and restoration to paying for rent and overhead while your property is restored. As property insurance claims attorneys, we can represent your interests with the insurer and negotiate for a fair settlement to cover these costs.
Our team can help property owners with the following types of claims:
Having an attorney on your side to negotiate with an insurer can have a significant impact on the outcome of your claim. Insurance companies often make unfairly small offers hoping property owners will accept a lower settlement, making it difficult to hold them accountable and get the full compensation to which you are entitled.
At Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, we’re here to advocate for you. Bringing over 200 years of experience in a range of multi-disciplinary practice areas, we have helped many property owners pursue first-party property insurance claims.
First-party insurance claims involve the policyholder directly filing a claim with their own insurance company. The policyholder is the first party, the insurance company is the second party, and any benefits or compensation are paid directly to the policyholder. Examples include claims for damage to your own property, medical expenses covered by your health insurance, or coverage for your own injuries in an auto accident under your own auto insurance policy.
On the other hand, third-party insurance claims involve someone other than the policyholder filing a claim against the policyholder's insurance policy. In this case, the policyholder is the first party, the insurance company is the second party, and the individual or entity making a claim against the policyholder is the third party. Examples include claims made by someone injured in an auto accident caused by the policyholder or claims for property damage caused by the policyholder's actions.
An example of a first-party insurance claim is when a homeowner files a claim with their own insurance company to cover the cost of repairing damage to their property caused by a covered peril, such as a fire, storm, or burglary. In this scenario, the homeowner is the policyholder (first party), and they are seeking compensation directly from their own insurance company (second party) for the damages incurred.
