The devastation left by back-to-back hurricanes, Helene and Milton, has left Florida’s Gulf Coast reeling, particularly in the Sarasota-Manatee area. These two powerful storms, both making landfall within a 13-day span, have caused extensive damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure across the region. The destructive path of Hurricane Helene, which struck Florida’s Big Bend area on September 26, 2024, was followed shortly by Hurricane Milton, which made landfall near Siesta Key on October 9, 2024. Together, these hurricanes have left behind not only a trail of destruction but also significant financial strain, as property owners begin the long process of rebuilding and recovering.
Early projections suggest that the combined damage from Helene and Milton could run into tens of billions of dollars statewide, according to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. With this staggering cost, many homeowners and business owners are now turning to their insurance companies for relief. However, as past storms have shown, navigating the claims process can be challenging. Whether it’s disputes over coverage, delayed responses, or denied and underpaid claims, the aftermath of these hurricanes often extends beyond the physical damage, adding stress and uncertainty for homeowners and business owners seeking to rebuild their lives.
