Property Preparedness Checklist

Godbey Giardina Law Group
Advocates for Property Owners Before, During and After a Loss

Owning property comes with risk—especially in regions prone to hurricanes, hailstorms,
flooding, wind, lightning, fire, or unexpected structural damage. When disaster strikes,
insurance claims can quickly become overwhelming, confusing, and unfairly denied or
underpaid.
At Godbey Giardina Law Group, we represent property owners—never insurance companies.
We understand that when property damage occurs, it is rarely just about shingles, drywall, or
flooring. It is about where your family lives, where your business operates, and where your
future plans are tied. Insurance claims often come at the worst possible times—after a storm, a
fire, a flood, or another unexpected event—when stress is already high and answers are hard to
find.
Our firm focuses exclusively on property damage insurance claims because we saw too many
hardworking people being underpaid, delayed, or denied by insurance carriers. This Property
Preparedness Kit is part of our commitment to caring for property owners before a loss
happens, during the claims process, and when disputes arise. We fight to ensure policyholders
receive the full benefits owed under their insurance policies, not what the insurance company
decides is convenient.

This Property Preparedness Kit was created to help property owners:
 Prepare before disaster strikes
 Act quickly and correctly after a loss
 Avoid common insurance claim pitfalls
 Understand when and why to involve an attorney
