Seashell Motel, a quaint lodging for adults and young adults in Downtown Key West is owned and operated by a professional hospitality group. The property consists of several buildings of differing construction and historic significance, was significantly damaged by Hurricane Irma.
The property owners, having had prior experience with Tutwiler and Associates, immediately got in touch with us to handle their claim. Public Adjuster Michael Platts, with over thirty years of claims experience immediately set forth to establish the available coverages, damages, and costs to restore the landmark to its former glory.
After submitting a large and comprehensive package detailing the loss, and a subsequent protracted fight over policy language and actual damages to the property, Michael was able to negotiate a claim settlement payment to the property owners by their insurance company of nearly 630% greater than the carriers initial and inadequate payment of $59,449.
After the resolution of this claim, one of the principals said to Mike, “If one of our properties is damaged again, we’re calling you once more, first thing!” Of course, we hope that they never incur another loss, but should the worst happen, we’re glad to be there for our clients, helping them through difficult times.
