A sink hole is a natural occurrence that is the result of karst processes and can range from 3 feet to over 2,000 feet in diameter. Florida is not the only area affected by these geological formations, they are actually found across the globe. They can develop gradually or they can appear suddenly. Sink holes tend to collect water from the surrounding areas, but in higher areas, they can be completely dry. Sink holes are more commonly found in areas of land that have more soft rock underground, such as limestone, salt beds, or other forms of carbonate rocks.

There are times, however, that sink holes are created from human activities. In areas where there are underground tunnels and abandoned mines, over time the support could give way and cause a sink hole to form on the surface. There have also been cases where water mains or pipes break and the water leakage can lead to a sink hole. Even though these occur around the world, Florida is known for their high occurrence of these formations. The state has the highest number of sink hole claims, despite recent laws which have been put into place to curb their frequency.

As Tampa is the worst-affected area in Florida, Mandelbaum Trichler Law Center, P.A. saw a need and chose to step up and fill it. As they are former insurance defense attorneys, they understand how to work with insurance companies. If you filed a sink hole claim because of damage to your home or property and were denied by your insurance company, involving a legal representative could be your best option. Unfortunately, insurance companies are often operating according to what is in their best interests and not in yours. Having an advocate on your side who understands the legal aspects of these cases can prove to be invaluable.
