A central Florida national hotel franchisee suffered damage when Hurricane Charley crossed the state of Florida in 2004. The insurance company's adjuster and other experts inspected the damage and calculated damages at an amount below the $141,000.00 deductible. Tutwiler and Associates, Inc. was retained and quickly completed a thorough damage inspection of the entire building, including roof, exterior and interior, and arrived at a damage amount much higher than the insurance company's figures. After several additional inspections and continual negotiations with the insurance company, the claim was settled for more than $693,000.00.
