What About My Property Damage?
Legal Help Getting Reimbursed for Property Damage after an Accident
While physical injuries are usually foremost in people’s minds after an accident, a close second is concerns about damaged or lost property.
- If you were in a car accident, who will pay for your wrecked car? Will you get a rental car in the meantime? If your car is repaired, will it be done properly or will the insurance company short-change you?
- If your home was damaged in a house fire caused by a defective appliance or household product, who will pay for rebuilding or repairing your home?
Fighting for Fair Compensation for Accident Victims and their Families

You pay for insurance expecting that when the time comes that you need it, you will be protected. But insurance companies often try to — and in our opinion sometimes succeed in — shortchanging their policy holders.
If you feel your insurance company has not met its obligations, you can get help.

Your car and home are extremely important to your well-being and that of your family.

Construction Worker Injury Case
The Umansky Law Firm took the case of a young father who was a construction worker injured while on the job. Our client’s injury was sustained while constructing a new home in an up and coming subdivision. After an investigation, the lawyers at the Umansky Law Firm determined that the construction company had failed to install a barricade on the second floor of the new home to keep the workers safe. Due to this negligence, our client fell and sustained severe injuries. Our client fractured his leg and had to undergo two surgeries due to the accident. As a result of the operations, our client — the family’s primary wage earner — missed several months of work. The Umansky Law Firm demanded that the named defendants take responsibility for their negligence, but they refused. As a result, we filed suit and vigorously pursued a claim against their insurance coverage and successfully reached a six-figure settlement.
Understanding Your Insurance Coverage
The first step in getting all the compensation you should is to understand your insurance policy. Did you pay for replacement value? If not, you are only entitled to the fair market value of your home or car in the condition that it was immediately before the accident. We review your policies to see what is covered.
If your insurance policy is denying your insurance claim, we look at policy exclusions to see if they are acting unfairly. In some cases we may need to bring a “bad faith” claim against your insurance company in order to force them to honor your policy as they should.
Contact a personal injury lawyer at the Umansky Law Firm if you have insurance questions following a car or other motor vehicle accident or house fire. We represent clients in communities throughout Orlando and other surrounding communities within Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Brevard, Lake, Polk, and Hillsborough counties in Florida.
