Hollywood Property Insurance Claim Lawyer

Hollywood Homeowners, Condominium, Commercial, and Marine Insurance Claims

Daniel B. Reinfeld is a Hollywood property insurance claim lawyer with more than 25 years of Florida litigation experience, including six years representing insurance companies in civil litigation. His insurance-defense background provides firsthand knowledge of how carriers investigate property damage, interpret policy language, select adjusters and experts, dispute causation, calculate depreciation, limit repair scopes, and defend denied or underpaid claims. Dan now represents policyholders—not insurance companies—in residential, condominium, commercial, marina, vessel, and other significant property-loss disputes throughout Broward County and South Florida.

​

Experience With Residential and Commercial Property Claims

Property-insurance disputes can involve much more than documenting visible damage. Dan handles homeowners insurance claims, condominium insurance claims, commercial property claims, water damage, hurricane damage, roof and wind damage, fire and smoke damage, and claims that have been denied, delayed, or underpaid. Depending on the property and available coverage, a loss may also involve condominium associations, apartment buildings, offices, retail properties, warehouses, restaurants, hotels, marinas, docks, boats, vessels, business personal property, equipment, inventories, additional living expenses, loss assessments, or business-interruption losses.

​

Complex claims may involve disagreements over whether damage resulted from a covered event, long-term deterioration, faulty maintenance, construction defects, defective products, negligence, flooding, storm surge, wind-driven rain, or multiple contributing causes. Dan evaluates the policy, coverage decision, estimates, photographs, inspection reports, repair history, communications, and available expert evidence to identify what the insurer accepted, what it excluded, and what remains disputed.

Former Insurance-Defense Experience Applied to Your Claim

Insurance companies frequently rely on exclusions, deductibles, depreciation, repair-versus-replacement arguments, pre-existing-damage allegations, late-notice defenses, engineer opinions, and competing estimates to reduce or deny payment. Because Dan previously defended insurers in complex, high-value claims, he understands how those defenses are developed and how a property-insurance case may be evaluated once litigation becomes likely. That perspective allows him to prepare the evidence and coverage arguments with the insurer’s anticipated defenses in mind from the beginning.

The firm also evaluates appropriate claims against negligent contractors, manufacturers, property managers, marina operators, repair facilities, and other responsible parties when the loss may extend beyond a first-party insurance dispute. The responsible parties, available insurance policies, contractual duties, and causes of damage must be examined separately in each case.

Direct Attorney Handling From Claim Review Through Litigation

As a solo practitioner, Dan personally evaluates and handles every property-insurance case the firm accepts. Your claim is not handed to a junior associate, outside trial counsel, call center, or intake department. Dan works directly with the client from the initial policy and claim review through inspections, negotiations, presuit requirements, litigation, and trial when necessary.

​

Dan’s courtroom experience includes jury trials and verdicts in Florida courts from Key West to Orlando. He obtained a $1.6 million unanimous jury verdict in a contested pedestrian case, recognized by TopVerdict among Florida’s Top 100 Personal Injury Verdicts and Top 10 Pedestrian Accident Verdicts of 2024. Although every insurance claim is different, meaningful trial experience matters when an insurer refuses to acknowledge coverage, disputes the cause or extent of damage, or will not offer sufficient payment to complete covered repairs.

​

Help With Denied, Delayed and Underpaid Insurance Claims

A denial or low estimate does not necessarily resolve what the policy covers or what the insurer owes. Dan reviews homeowners, condominium, commercial, hurricane, windstorm, roof, water, fire, smoke, marina, and vessel-related claims to determine whether additional investigation, documentation, negotiation, appraisal, or litigation may be appropriate. The objective is to identify all potentially available coverage and pursue the insurance benefits and damages supported by the policy, evidence, and applicable law.
