classified as geological hazards sometimes causing extensive damage
to a home or business resulting in costly repairs. Due to the
extreme weather conditions experienced in Florida over the past few
years, sinkhole activity has increased and many areas are now being
plagued with this natural disaster. Many people do not realize that current Florida law requires that their insurance company offer coverage for damage due to a sinkhole activity. In addition, Florida law requires that once an insurer receives information regarding any damage to an insured's property as a result of settlement, the insurance company must hire a geotechnical engineering firm to perform an investigation sufficient to rule out sinkhole activity within a professional certainty, at no cost to the insured. This means that it is not necessary for property owners to prove that their structure is being damaged due to sinkhole activity. To the contrary, it is the burden of the insurer to prove that a structure is not being damaged as a result of sinkhole activity.
