WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE 2017 HURRICANE SEASON
The physical damages were only the beginning of the disaster
In 2017, various modern insurance policy pitfalls laid wake to balance sheets. Confusion regarding the new paradigm of wind-driven rain and high windstorm deductibles has discouraged most to stop pursing a recovery for damages caused by Hurricane Irma and Maria. The issues go far beyond wind-driven rain and deductibles, and include the flood insurance paradox and frequent mechanical failures that were incorrectly lumped into windstorm losses.

Nearly every Association and business owner is concerned for this current hurricane season. Already, several systems have developed in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
