Best Industry Expert Insights on Florida's Hurricane Damage Assessments by Accredited Claims Adjusters

CLERMONT, Fla. - Sept. 24, 2024 - PRLog -- Educational Services & Consulting (ESC) is excited to announce the release of their new blog post focusing on the crucial role accredited claims adjusters play in assessing damage caused by tropical storms and hurricanes. ESC's specialized training equips adjusters with the skills needed to differentiate between these two powerful weather events, and ensure that policyholders receive fair compensation.

"Florida's hurricane season brings a unique set of challenges for property owners and insurance professionals alike," said Natalie Zimmerman, Co-Owner and Chief Strategy Officer at ESC. "Tropical storms, with wind speeds ranging from 39 to 73 mph, often cause significant roof damage, water intrusion, and fallen trees. On the other hand, hurricanes, characterized by winds over 74 mph, can cause catastrophic structural damage, widespread flooding, and long-term property destruction. Understanding the nuances between these types of storms and the damage they cause is critical for insurance claims adjusters."
