PRESS RELEASE Of interest to editors and journalists covering: General Editorial, Florida Regional News Pensacola Lawyer Helps Families Battered by Hurricane Ivan - Offers Free Special Report and Free Consultation on '12 Things You Should Know When Filing Your Hurricane Ivan Insurance Claim' PENSACOLA, FL - September 30, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Homegrown Pensacola resident, Samuel Bearman, Esq. (www.bearmanlaw.com), is giving back to his hurricane-beaten community in the best way he knows how: offering residents in the Panhandle free legal advice on the best way to handle their insurance claim. "This was the big one," Bearman says, referring to the devastating force with which Hurricane Ivan practically flattened his town. "I was personally affected by Ivan, my clients were affected and my family was affected. In fact, I just came back from a friend's funeral who drowned during the Hurricane. Everyone in our community has been impacted by this thing somehow." Bearman, who represented over 50 clients with insurance claims in 1995 after Hurricane Opal, warns that this is a time that homeowners need to be especially aware of their rights. "Insurance adjusters will commonly lowball unsuspecting homeowners as to the value of their claim. They lead homeowners to believe that no more can be paid to them. Not knowing any better, most homeowners accept the assessment. It's a shame. They lose their home and have to worry about getting swindled." But homeowners do have rights - they have options. Bearman has written a Special Report for Hurricane Ivan victims entitled, "12 Things You Should Know When Filing Your Hurricane Ivan Insurance Claim." It is free and will be made available to anyone who asks for it. Additionally, Bearman will offer a free consultation to anyone who has questions regarding his hurricane damage claim. To get a copy of the free report or receive a free hurricane damage consultation call (850) 438-1000. Additionally, Attorney Bearman requests the media's assistance in disseminating this free information to residents of Pensacola and the Panhandle -- and welcomes media inquiries.
