Filing A Sinkhole Claim In Florida

Sinkholes are also called sinks, shake holes, swallets, swallow holes and dolines. A sinkhole is a depression or hole in the ground usually created by a collapse of surface limestone.

Insurance companies have four classic responses to sinkhole damage claims:

  1. “You have only negligible damage, and Florida requires evidence of structural damage to recover for sinkholes.”
  2. “You don’t have a sinkhole.”
  3. “You haven’t suffered any sinkhole damage.”
  4. “We’re still researching your case. We’ll get back to you in a few months.”

If your home is no longer livable or sellable, if you are depending on insurance company money to make repairs, these responses are all intolerable. Obviously, your insurer is hoping you will simply go away and not hold it to the promises it made in your policy.
