Home and business policyholders dealing with wind damage insurance claims may find themselves battling their insurer on whether a named storm deductible applies due to Hurricane Ian or just a wind deductible applied due to a tornado that occurred before the hurricane. If wind damage existed before the September 28, 2023 Hurricane occurrence, be sure to tell your insurer.
