911 Season 8 Rewrite - title tbd (nothing sounds or feels right but this if I'm honest...) I wrote these all this weekend and wanted to put them out before starting on the rest of the fic and the chapters. These are all little vignettes of where each character is sort of at and hopefully throwing a few of them forwards to know what we might be covering. Some things are going to just expanding on canon and some is just adding more stuff to it or stuff they could have (should have) explored more. Not sure how I'm going to organize each chapter cause they're likely going to be long, so it's either they're just written like fiction or I try to group things together to feel like an actual episode with calls and things. I'm not sure and I think that's something I'll have to figure out in the writing. Once I figure out a title, I'll post this to ao3. So for now, enjoy it on tumblr!

ATHENA

Athena stared at the computer screen in front of her, her mind both blank and whirling 100 miles an hour. She was technically off shift—had been for the last 48 minutes, but she didn’t want to go home. Mostly because it wasn’t home she was going back to. Not anymore.

The fire had burned nearly everything up. There were some things that survived, but most of those were so badly damaged they weren’t worth keeping. There were the stones from the patio littered around and some burnt wood pieces and Athena couldn’t bring herself to get rid of them because then it’d be really over, her home—the home she raised her children in, the only real home she’s had that felt hers—would really and truly be gone.

They were still waiting on their insurance money and the settlement to be paid out before they could start figuring out what they wanted to do, where they wanted to live. They’d spent a little time in a hotel room before taking Michael and David up on their offer of coming to stay with them for a bit in Florida. They had lasted only two weeks before they had to come back—both for testing that Bobby had to do for his heart (though David had been very focused on doing his own tests on Bobby) and because both Bobby and Athena wanted to get back to work. May was trying to convince them to stay with her for a couple weeks, but Athena hadn’t been able to take her up on it for more than a weekend. While it was sweet and gracious and Athena loved being able to be in the same place as her daughter, it hadn’t sit right with her. She was the mother—she was supposed to take care of her children, not the other way around.

Hen and Karen offered to house them for a bit while they figured out a rental or an apartment situation. But with everything going on with them and their fight to get Mara back, it was just a little too much, so they only stayed a few days. Now they’re staying with Chimney and Maddie and it’s nice, but it’s just not home. But Bobby seems to enjoy being around Chimney since they’re no longer working together, so Athena’s going to just suck it up and be happy to have a place to stay that’s not a sterile-but-not-sterile hotel room.

“Athena, you’re still here?” Ransone stopped by her desk.

“Uh, yeah,” she said. “Just packing up to head out. You need something?”

“Maybe,” he said. “I got a case and if you’ve got a minute, maybe I could run it by you, talk it over?”

Athena smiled at him. “I’ve got time. Let me grab a coffee and I’ll meet you in your office.” Sometimes staying late does pay off, but not in the ways you expected.

MADDIE

“And then Mara said the cutest thing to Jee last night when she didn’t want to go to bed,” Maddie said to Linda and Josh as they made their coffee in the breakroom. “She told Jee that the sooner she went to sleep, the sooner it’d be morning and they could have a tea party when she got back from school.”

“That is adorable,” Josh said.

“They’re both getting along?” Linda asked.

“Amazingly,” Maddie said. “I was a bit worried how Jee would take to having another kid at the house when she’s so used to be an only child, but she loves it.”

“And Mara’s settling in okay?” Linda asked. “I know it was tough on her to be taken away from the Wilsons.”

Maddie nodded. “I think she’s doing as best as can be expected. She misses her moms a lot, and Denny, but I think it’s weirdly helping her to have Jee to take care of? I know she had a younger brother so I think that protective part of her is giving her something else to focus on.”

Maddie sighed. “It’s just so hard because I don’t know how to assure her that she’s going to go back to her home because we all just don’t know when that’ll happen.”

“Or if,” Josh said. “I mean, they’re up against some big odds.”

“They’re been up against worse. I have to have hope that they’ll all be reunited because the alternative breaks my heart,” Maddie said.

“Have you and Chimney talked about what you might do if they can’t get Mara back?” Josh asked her.

Maddie hesitated. “No. Not really.”

Was that something they should have been talking about? Probably, but they were just so focused on making sure that Mara was safe and okay and that Hen and Karen and Denny knew that Mara was safe for the time being—the idea that Hen and Karen would never get Mara back never even crossed their minds.

“I’m sure it’ll all work out,” Linda said gently. “But having a conversation might be best, just to make sure you’re both on the same page on what the future holds.”

“No. Yeah,” Maddie said. “You’re right. I guess we just were so focused on the positive outcome we didn’t stop to consider anything else.”

“Does it change anything for you?” Josh asked.

“No, of course not. Mara’s welcome with us for as long as she wants,” Maddie said. “it’s more about what that might do to Hen and Karen that I’m worried about.”

“Hey,” Josh said, gently squeezing her arm. “I didn’t mean to bring anything down. It’s just, in our line of work, we know that we should be prepared for any potential or possibility.”

BOBBY

Bobby stepped out of the elevator and walked toward the receptionist. “Bobby Nash. Here for a meeting with Chief Simpson.”

The man clicked on his computer and then glanced up, gesturing to the seats. “If you want to have a seat, he should be ready for you shortly, Captain Nash.”

“Thanks.” Bobby sat in the chair, his heels clicking together as he straightened. He let out a long breath, trying to ease his nerves.

Bobby had been out on medical leave for the past few weeks—mostly due to an abundance of caution for Athena’s sake. He took it easy and didn’t press to be released from the hospital too quickly. When he’d woken up, seen everyone waiting around, he could tell that this hospital visit had been different, more intense.

It wasn’t until later that he convinced Chimney to tell him everything—that he’d been clinically dead for almost the entire drive to the hospital and that it was a long shot he’d even wake up again. And Athena had sat there, wondering if he’d wake up, the position he’d been in back in Minnesota. So he’d stayed at the hospital, listened to all the advice, and actually took days off to really focus on resting and healing up. He’d even let David and Micheal take them in for a week or two before Bobby had to get back to work.

Which is why he’s here now, waiting to talk to the Chief.

“Captain Nash,” Chief Simpson greeted, reaching out a hand to shake Bobby’s. “How are you feeling?”

“Better,” Bobby said as he got up to follow the Chief into his office.

“It’s amazing how often the advice of rest actually ends up helping,” the Chief said with a chuckle. “And yet, it’s so hard to follow.”

“It’s why I’m eager to get back to work,” Bobby said.

“I can imagine so.” The Chief sat down at his desk. “I’m glad you changed your mind about retirement. The department would be sad to lose a man as capable as you.”

“Thank you, sir.” Bobby felt his nerves amping up for some reason. “So… how is that all looking? I believe you got my medical clearance?”

“Yes,” Chief Simpson said.

“And…?”

The Chief sighed. “Medically, you have been cleared for restricted duty.”

Bobby frowned. “Right. So I just won’t be leading the charge for calls, but it’s nothing I haven’t done before.”

“Before you were awarded the Medal of Valor,” the Chief said.

“I… don’t know what that has to do with anything.”

“For better or worse, you’re well-known now. More than before,” the Chief said. “And I’m not interested in having more attention on you, or on me, than necessary. So we’re going to keep you on light duty for a little longer, until you’re fully cleared to return to full duty. Think of it as an abundance of caution.”

“Caution.”

“Look, Bobby, I’ll level with you.” Chief Simpson leaned forward, and folded his hands on his desk. “You know I’m tentatively interested in throwing my hat into the ring for Mayor, so I have to be very careful how I proceed here, not just with you, or the entire Fire Department, but also the other potential candidates. I don’t want to give them any ammo against me or against anyone who’s working under me.”

“I see,” Bobby said.

“The 118 has a bit of a magnifying glass on it right now, with the medals and media attention and I don’t want to cause people to dig even more there when they don’t need to,” the Chief said. “So until you are fully cleared to return to full duty, I can’t let you back as Captain.”

“I understand,” Bobby said, though he didn’t really. “So am I on fire marshal duty?”

“I think you’re a bit above that,” Chief Simpson said. “I had another idea in mind for you. There’s a show that’s shooting in LA that has requested an advisor of sorts. I think you’d be perfect for it.”

“To work on TV?”

“To work for a TV show,” the Chief corrected. “Look, I know it’s not what you want, but I also know that you’ll be able to handle this and not let it lose sight of coming back into the fold. And who knows whether that might be to resume your Captain position or perhaps a higher title.”

“Thank you, sir.” Bobby wiped his hands on his knees, pushing himself up. “I will report to duty as an advisor then. And will let you know when I’m medically cleared.”

“I appreciate your understanding,” Chief Simpson said, standing up and reaching out his hand to shake. “I’ll send you the information and contact for the position. We’ll be in touch.”

EDDIE

It’s quiet now, more than he’d ever noticed before. His house was silent, not even a creaking or groaning of settling. Even the firehouse felt silent in a way. It felt like everything was frozen, including himself.

He’d spent so many years now being a dad that he didn’t know what to do now, now that that option was taken away from him. Now that Chris has left. And not just for the summer or a break, but indefinitely.

There’s a list that sits on his night stand now of all the things he wants to get done around the house now that Chris isn’t here, updates and repairs, little things he’d been putting off for ages. Things he knows will keep him occupied at home for the next few weeks—Buck and Tommy had both offered to help him with those projects if he wanted.

The problem was Eddie didn’t know what he wanted, besides Chris coming home. Would working around his house make him feel better and show that he’s learning to keep a handle on things when Chris wasn’t there to sort of force him to? Or would it be more like he’s making changes to adapt for the rest of his life to be without Chris? Would Chris feel like he couldn’t come back if Eddie did some projects, like Eddie was making his life better without Chris? And if he didn’t do anything, would it look like he’s just throwing a tantrum because Chris left while he didn’t do a single thing to change or make things better?

Eddie didn’t know. He didn’t know the right answer or the right decision—if this was even a decision at all to make. And it’s not like Chris was talking to him. He was barely replying to Eddie’s messages and calling him didn’t help because he was getting one-word answers. It was clear that Chris was only accepting his calls because he felt he had to because Eddie’s his dad or because his parents were forcing Chris to answer. Eddie wasn’t sure if he wanted to know the answer to that.

“Bobby should be back today,” Buck said as him and Chimney came into the locker room.

“I’ll be sure to tell Hen that you didn’t enjoy her leadership,” Chimney said, slapping Buck on the back.

Eddie smiled at their antics because he was supposed to.

“That’s not what I meant!” Buck protested. “Eddie, you’ll back me up, right?”

Eddie held his hands up. “I am pleading the fifth.”

“Even your bestie knows you’re wrong,” Chimney said.

“Whatever,” Buck said. “You talk to Chris yesterday?”

“Depends on your definition of talking,” Eddie said, closing his locker. “I got him on the phone, but he barely said anything. I think I got “Hi,” “I’m fine,” and “I gotta go.” So not much to go on.”

“That’s rough,” Chimney said.

“You just gotta give him some time,” Buck said. “I’m sure he’ll come around once he calms down more.”

“Yeah, maybe.”

Thankfully anything else they were about to say to cheer him up was interrupted by Hen coming in to gather them outside.

“We’re being called out for a meeting,” Hen said.

“A meeting?” Chimney asked. “Who called it?”

“The new Captain,” Hen said.

“New Captain?” Buck asked. “What about Bobby?”

Hen shrugged. “You know as much as I do.”

“Oh no,” Chimney said looking out passed Hen.

They all turned and saw Gerrard walking down the stairs, his uniform as crisp as his moustache.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Hen whispered.

“Are they really letting him take over for Bobby?” Buck asked.

“Gather up!” Gerrard shouted. “Time to inspect the way this station has been thrown to the wayside so we can course correct.”

“I guess so,” Eddie said, slamming his locker closed and walking out. As shitty as it was to not have Bobby back, having a new Captain might be just what Eddie needed to stay focused on his job and not have to think about his empty house all through his shift.

KAREN AND HEN

Hen slumped into the chair and leaned heavily onto the table.

“Denny all set for bed?” Karen asked, tidying up the papers in front of her.

“He’s not the only one,” Hen said.

“Long day?”

“Long year,” Hen said. “Gerrard back, Mara gone, it’s just… every day feels like a fight.”

Karen nodded. She felt the same and there wasn’t more they could really talk about regarding their feelings on it. It was bullshit and horrible and it broke her heart, but she was tired of talking about it without action. “How is it having Gerrard back. Like really?”

Hen sighed. “I don’t know. The same, but different? It’s hard to explain. It’s not like he’s suddenly become this beacon of humility and humanity but he’s also better? It’s hard to know if he’s better because I have so much else to worry about or if it’s because he’s not as overt in his sexism or maybe he’s chilled out and actually grown a bit in the last decade.”

“Well, I guess it could be any of those,” Karen said. “Or a combination.”

“Time will tell with him,” Hen said. “It’s not the worst I’ve experienced and not even the worst under him, so I’ll take whatever win I can get. What’s all this?”  

“I’ve been looking for a lawyer for us. One that will actually take our case and isn’t going to be scared away or disbelieving that we’re being targeting by a councilwoman,” Karen said. “So, I’ve been doing some research.”

“Of course you have, in between all your free time at the lab, I’m sure,” Hen said with a small laugh. “Job interviews without the interview?”

“There will be an interview,” Karen said. “Obviously we need to know how seriously they’ll take us but I need to know that they’re someone worth meeting with. It’s crazy to see how many attorney offices are linked with the politicians in this city. Just finding an office that didn’t have an overt connection to Ortiz or anyone connected to her was difficult.”

“People like that flock together,” Hen remarked. “Can I help with anything?”

“Well if you want to take a look at these people and give me your thoughts?” Karen suggested. “I want to see what your instincts say before I tell you what I’m thinking.”

“My instincts?” Hen said. “What if my instincts were to go run you a bath and get you to stop thinking about this and relax for at least an hour?”

Karen raised her eyebrows. “Only an hour?”

Hen laughed and got up, pulling Karen with her down the hall. “I guess I’ll have to show you more than hour.”

Karen smiled as she followed Hen down the hall, noticing that Hen grabbed the files as well.

CHIMNEY

Chimney slammed his locked closed, tightening his belt as he looked over at Hen lacing up her boots. “You ever think that maybe we’re in someone’s sick joke? Like someone’s own Truman Show?”

“You think we’re interesting enough for people to watch?” Hen scoffed. “I don’t think so.”

“Well that’s why they keep throwing stuff at us, keeping us interesting to the viewers.” Chimney turned to her. “Like Gerrard coming back to the 118 after all this time.”

“I’d rather be boring then,” Hen said. “Though him returning is the least of my worries right now.”

“How’s the lawyer process going?”

“Slow,” Hen said. “Karen’s been meticulously combing through every possible candidate. We’re just trying to make sure that whoever we hire will actually be on our side.”

“You’ll find someone,” Chimney said. “Especially if Karen’s on the research. I remember when she moved in across the hall—she came with a checklist for the property manager.”

“Sounds like my wife,” Hen said. The laughed quietly.

“You’ll get it sorted,” Chimney said. “I have faith in that. And until then, Mara’s safe and secure and just a short car ride away.”

“Yeah,” Hen said. “You’re right. Just have to focus on one step at a time.”

“Exactly!” Chimney came behind her to squeeze her shoulders as they walked out. “Like today and our bet of how many minutes into the shift before Buck starts complaining about Gerrard.”

Hen laughed, catching sight of Buck already in line up and waiting for their new Captain. “I’m gonna say he’s not even gonna make it through inspection today.”

“Five bucks says you’re wrong,” Chimney said.

“You’re on.”

BUCK

“He hates me,” Buck said. “No matter what I do, it’s wrong.”

“That’s just how he is,” Tommy soothed as he washed the dishes from their dinner. Buck was drying but it was hard to care about drying dishes when his boss was an asshole who seemed to have it out for him specifically.

“I don’t even know what I did wrong,” Buck said. “I’m trying to do everything the best way possible but he seems to only want things done his way, to hell with efficiency.”

“Hmm,” Tommy said, passing him a plate.

“And it’s not even like I’m jumping rank or anything on calls!” Buck angrily wiped at the plate. “Even when I’m trying to follow his order to the letter it’s still not enough for him. It’s like he lives to find fault in everything we do.”

“He just likes to be in charge and feels the best way to do that is to constantly correct everyone, even when there’s nothing to correct,” Tommy said. “Especially when there’s nothing to correct.”

“I don’t how everyone else is handling it,” Buck said. “

“Probably the same way you are,” Tommy said. “Anything to keep from boiling over on shift.”

“I have come so close to wanting to hit him so many times,” Buck admitted.

“Thank god you haven’t,” Tommy said.

“Because I’m above that,” Buck said. “Yeah, I know.”

“Because you’d look awful in that orange jumpsuit,” Tommy said. “You’re cute, but bright orange rarely works for anyone.”

“So you’re saying you’d dump me if I was arrested for hitting Gerrard?” Buck asked, setting the towel on the counter.

“Of course not,” Tommy said. “I’d cheer you on. It’s the orange jumpsuit that might make me call it quits.”

“I thought you said I was adorable,” Buck reminded him.

“You are,” Tommy said, smirking at him as he placed the sponge back on the holder in the sink. “But even your adorableness has its limits.”

Buck just grinned because how could he not? He had a partner, a boyfriend who seemed to genuinely like spending time with him in a way that Buck’s never had before. He didn’t feel like he had to try so hard—obviously he still did, but it was because he wanted to for Tommy, not to get him to stick around. After all, the man had seen him at his worst and most… dramatic and chose to kiss him and ask him out anyways.

“I guess we’ll have to do some experiments then,” Buck said, grabbing his phone off the counter and pulling up some shopping sites. “See how much bright orange I have to wear before you don’t want me anymore.”

Supercar Diminished Value and Loss of Use Claims in Florida

When a supercar such as a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or McLaren is involved in an accident, the aftermath can be financially devastating. Beyond repair costs, these high-end vehicles often suffer from diminished value—the loss in market value due to their accident history—even if repaired to perfect condition. Additionally, loss of use claims are essential to compensate owners for the time their supercar is unavailable for use. Understanding how these claims work under Florida law is crucial for maximizing compensation.

Understanding Diminished Value for Supercars

Diminished value refers to the reduction in a vehicle's market value after being damaged in an accident. Supercars, in particular, face steep reductions in value because potential buyers of luxury vehicles often seek pristine, accident-free cars. Even top-tier repairs cannot erase the accident from the vehicle’s history.

For example, a 2020 Ferrari 488 GTB with a minor accident may face significant devaluation simply because of the repair history. Buyers of such cars look for perfection, and the stigma of an accident can lower the value by tens of thousands of dollars. Diminished value claims ensure that owners are compensated for this post-accident loss in market value.

Loss of Use Claims for Supercars

Loss of use refers to the inability to use your supercar while it’s being repaired. For vehicles like a Porsche 911 GT3 or a McLaren 720S, this can be a significant financial and personal inconvenience, especially if the repairs take weeks or months. Florida law allows for loss of use claims to cover rental costs for a similar luxury vehicle or compensate for the time the vehicle is unavailable.

For example, while your Lamborghini Huracán is in the shop, you could claim for a comparable rental vehicle. If a similar supercar rental isn’t available, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss of enjoyment and use.

Why You Need a Supercar Accident Lawyer

If your Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani Huayra or Bugatti Chiron has been damaged, you’re entitled to more than just repair costs. Many people try to handle diminished value or loss of use claims on their own, only to face denials or lowball offers from insurance companies. Insurers often claim that you lack the documentation needed to prove your loss or even tell you outright that you aren’t entitled to compensation.

This is where retaining a supercar injury lawyer is crucial. Insurance companies are aware that consumers often don’t understand the intricate details of making a successful diminished value claim, and they take advantage of this. However, when you have an attorney who specializes in these claims, the situation changes.

Dealing with diminished value and loss of use claims for supercars requires a thorough understanding of Florida law and the unique challenges posed by luxury vehicles. Insurance companies often attempt to deny or minimize these claims, leaving supercar owners with inadequate compensation. By working with a law firm that specializes in supercar claims, like The Sheldrick Law Firm, you can ensure that your vehicle's true value is recognized and that you are compensated for your losses. Don't settle for less—reach out to us for high caliber representation and protect your investment.

FLORIDA CASE LAW:

DIMINISHED VALUE

In American Southern Insurance Co. v. Griggs, 959 So. 2d 322 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007), the court reinforced the right of vehicle owners to recover diminished value as part of a property damage claim when the at-fault party is negligent. The ruling emphasized that even if a vehicle is fully repaired, it may not regain its pre-accident market value, making diminished value compensation essential. This is particularly important for luxury and supercar owners, as vehicles like a Ferrari or Porsche can suffer significant market value losses due to their accident history, regardless of repair quality. Griggs solidifies the legitimacy of pursuing diminished value claims in third-party cases, ensuring that owners can claim both repair costs and the market value lost after an accident, helping to avoid substantial financial loss.

In Trinity Universal Insurance Co. v. Metzger, 360 So. 2d 960 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978), the court ruled that vehicle owners are entitled to recover both the cost of repairs and the diminished value from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. The court recognized that even after a car has been fully repaired, it can still lose value due to the stigma of having been in an accident. This case is especially relevant for supercar owners, as the value of high-end vehicles like a Ferrari or Lamborghini can drop significantly post-accident, even with flawless repairs. Trinity Universal underscores the importance of pursuing diminished value claims alongside repair costs to ensure full compensation for the loss in value.

In Papadopoulos v. Auto-Owners Insurance Co., 581 So. 2d 1387 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991), the court reinforced the principle that vehicle owners can recover diminished value in third-party claims, meaning the at-fault party's insurance is responsible for compensating the owner for both repairs and any decrease in the vehicle's market value. This case emphasized that, even if a vehicle is fully repaired, it might still suffer a loss in value due to its accident history, which is particularly important for luxury and high-end vehicles. The ruling in Papadopoulos is critical because it clarifies that a vehicle owner can pursue the full amount of the vehicle's lost value in addition to the costs associated with the repair. The court's decision helps establish the right to claim compensation for the market stigma attached to a vehicle that has been in an accident, despite any efforts to restore it to its original condition. This case is often cited in Florida when pursuing third-party diminished value claims, ensuring that accident victims are fully compensated for their losses, beyond just the cost of repairs.

These landmark Florida cases serve as strong legal precedents for pursuing diminished value claims, ensuring that vehicle owners can recover not only the cost of repairs but also the loss in market value caused by an accident. By understanding and leveraging these rulings, supercar and luxury vehicle owners can seek full compensation when they’re not at fault, protecting the true value of their investment.

Has Your Diminished Value or Loss Of Use Claim Been Denied?

Insurance companies often deny Diminished Value or Loss of Use claims for various reasons, and it's important to understand why. Below are five common reasons an insurance company might deny your claim, along with details about each.

1. Lack of Proper Documentation Insurance companies often deny claims because they argue there is insufficient evidence to support the diminished value or loss of use claim. They may assert that you haven't provided the necessary proof of the vehicle’s pre-accident value, post-repair market value, or clear documentation showing the time period for which the vehicle was unavailable.

Tip: To counter this, ensure you gather appraisal reports, repair bills, rental receipts, and market comparisons showing your car’s value before and after the accident. Expert reports, especially for supercars, can be essential to building a strong case.

2. Claim Filed Against the Wrong Policy If you attempt to file a first-party diminished value claim, it will likely be denied, especially in Florida, where only third-party diminished value claims are allowed. The insurance company will argue that your policy doesn't cover such claims, forcing you to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance.

Tip: Make sure you understand the difference between first-party and third-party claims. In Florida, third-party claims are allowed, meaning the at-fault driver’s insurance must cover diminished value and loss of use.

3. Failure to Meet Eligibility Criteria Insurance companies will deny claims if they believe you are not eligible based on the circumstances of the accident. If you are partially at fault or the at-fault party is underinsured, insurers might deny the claim or offer reduced compensation. They may also claim the damage does not meet their threshold for a diminished value loss.

Tip: Prove that you were not at fault, and provide evidence of how the accident directly affected your car’s market value. Legal representation can help dispute any inaccurate determinations.

4. Dismissal Due to Vehicle Type For luxury or supercars, insurers sometimes argue that because these cars are difficult to appraise or have volatile market values, the claim is exaggerated or unwarranted. They may also claim that because the car was restored to high standards, the diminished value is negligible.

Tip: Supercar owners should always use expert appraisers to establish the diminished value and loss of use claims. Independent appraisers who specialize in luxury vehicles are crucial to proving that the car has lost value, despite flawless repairs. Hiring a licensed appraiser and citing Florida case law that is relevant and in your favor will leave the defense with little to no options.

5. Dispute Over Repair Quality or Necessity Some insurance companies will argue that the repairs performed on your vehicle were unnecessary or exceeded what was required, leading to an inflated diminished value claim. They might also argue that if you failed to mitigate damages (for example, by not getting timely repairs), you may forfeit your right to a full diminished value or loss of use claim.

Tip: Always retain full documentation of your vehicle’s repair history and work done. Ensure that the repairs are performed by reputable shops specializing in luxury vehicles to avoid disputes over the quality or necessity of the work.

By understanding these common reasons for denial, you’ll be better equipped to strengthen your diminished value or loss of use claim. If your claim has been denied, seeking legal assistance from a firm experienced in supercar claims can help you navigate the complexities and challenge the insurance company’s decision. Should you have any problems, allow for attorney Kayla Sheldrick to handle your case.

As a Floridian, let me just say something about water.

It is not an ornament. It is not a playground. It is a soup of fish poop and lawn fertilizer runoff and sometimes reptilian carnivores that preceded and outlived the dinosaurs. It wants you to gawk at it and forget about inconvenient details like "flood plains" "storm surge" and "evacuation zones." But water is patient and given half a chance or 140 mile an hour winds blowing out from the sea against the coastline, it will take back that mangrove swamp that developers half a century ago drained off and sold to unsuspecting dupes as "paradise."

I personally didn't lose anything in Helene or Ian or Charley, but I've known people who did, and I have had the experience of trying to estimate how screwed I was based on the water level against the mailbox.

What is happening in Florida ironically fits a model that has been discussed in many places but especially Robert Evans et al's "It Could Happen Here" with is term "the crumbles." Less of a sudden, sharp societal collapse and more of a slow but steady erosion. There are people along the Florida coastline, especially in Big Bend (that's the curve between the peninsula and the Panhandle for those not in the know) and the Fort Myers metro area that have experienced devastating flooding two or three times in two years now. The insurance market is a mess because not only is a bad for profit business model to insure coastal Florida areas, its turning into something that's simply not feasible. The money just isn't there.

So what does that mean longterm? Well for the near term, probably an acceleration of existing trends. People who already were being priced out by property taxes and the uninsurability of their homes and business calling a quits and leaving for other areas. If you leave in a rapidly overheating housing market in the Sunbelt, you may very well already be familiar with refugees from Florida's insane politics and crazier housing costs turning up.

The properties they sold off or abandoned will likely be acquired by deep pocketed interests who will redevelop them into some mix of more resilient or something more disposable: expensive timeshares and vacation rentals for instance. Itinerant residents tend to have no loyalty to the community, resent paying into schools and infrastructure, and care little if the area is ecologically ruined and denuded of native wildlife and plant life because for them the carefully manicured and managed illusion of nature will be assumed to be reality.

As a Floridian is my deep seated conviction that having your economic driver be tourism and planned communities breeds reactionary politics. Hospitality doesn't really care if its workers are well educated as long as it has workers. If it has to import those workers and have them live dormitory style, then that's what it will do. Hospitality has no vested interest in infrastructure beyond the walls of its carefully curated experiences, although too much crime and poverty in the news might be a problem.

This is much the same for planned communities that market heavily to remote workers and retirees out of state. Thus there's money for law enforcement but not public infrastructure, public green spaces, education, healthcare etc. because there are amenities to be provided at a premium and on a for profit basis by the owner, not entitlements for people outside the walls of the planned community.

And it almost assuredly breeds contempt. The maintenance department, the check in clerk, the ride share driver: these are not your neighbors. They're from another country, if not literally, then proverbially. They're from the outside. The outside where it is dirty and people are presumed uneducated, coarse, and unruly.

And of course, savvy politicians lean into this. Watch the political ads. The real Floridians are identified as retired or upper middle class suburbanites. No one is for the farm hands picking the ever declining citrus monocultures, the crops falling prey to disease and the land itself becoming more valuable for housing than it is commercial use. If you have a lawn care or pool cleaning business, you can imagine they're talking to you when they talk about small business owners, but there again its not as your employees or perhaps even you get to live in the same neighborhoods as your clients and increasing its not clear you get to live anywhere.

There is some small, dark satisfaction to be gained from the knowledge that, much like the next wave of construction that will happen along the coasts, the pastures, wilderness, and farmland being paved over has been left green for good reasons and the bill for fraudulent impact assessments and security theater flood mitigation will come due. But the developers will have long ago fled town with suitcases full of cash, leaving their tenants waist deep in sewage and hungry reptiles after substandard seawalls and pumps failed.

It would be easy to hate the ignorant who didn't look beyond the walls of their gated communities. In the end they will be suckers and I pity them because many of them will lose family photos and home equity, only to have their insurance company declare insolvency and fight their claims tooth and nail. Many of them will not be the uber rich, many will be the petite bourgeois whose extravagant (by our standards) lifestyle was always far more perilous than they or we could have possibly imagined.

Because water is patient and it will have its swamp back.

For most of his life, Cory Infinger has lived down a hill and along a bend in the Little Wekiva River, a gentle stream meandering northwest of Orlando. During Hurricane Ian, in September 2022, the stream swelled, inundating the homes of his family and his neighbors and also the street where they live, making it impassable.

Overnight Ian had moved slowly and violently over the state’s interior, dropping historic amounts of rain, after coming ashore in southwest Florida as a category 4 hurricane, its high winds and storm surge flattening coastal communities there.

For Infinger the deluge forced a hasty morning evacuation with his wife and youngest two of their three children. It would displace the family for months as their home underwent massive repairs. More than a year later the ordeal has left the family rattled, especially his 16- and 8-year-old children, said Infinger, who grew up fishing and trapping turtles along the Little Wekiva and now enjoys doing the same with his kids. (A 22-year-old son no longer lives at home.)

“You could tell they were sad when we came back to get the last few things,” he recalled of his kids as he described the family’s temporary stay in a rental house, and then the move back to their newly remodeled home. “It took them a while to get used to, this is our new house. Everything had changed.”

In the last seven years Florida has weathered five major hurricanes. Michael, which made landfall in 2018 in the Panhandle, was the first category 5 hurricane to strike the continental United States since Andrew in 1992. Ian, in 2022, was the costliest hurricane in state history and third-costliest on record nationwide, after Katrina in 2005 and Harvey in 2017. Recent major Florida hurricanes also include Irma in 2017, Nicole in 2022, and Idalia in 2023.

If the disasters sharpened Floridians’ resolve, in the immediate aftermath, to build back stronger and better, another crisis may be causing some to rethink where they live and the rising risk as the global climate warms.

After Ian, Infinger’s taxes and homeowners insurance, which he pays together into a bank escrow account as part of his regular mortgage payment, jumped by $450 a month. That amount could be considered moderate in a state where annual home insurance rates in the five and six figures have not been unheard of in recent years, and many homeowners have received letters from their insurers informing them that their existing policies will not be renewed.

Some homeowners have received multiple such letters from multiple insurers, leaving them scrambling from one policy to the next, as lenders require mortgage holders to carry insurance. Others whose homes are paid off are going without insurance altogether, to spare the expense.

“We deal with it,” said Infinger, who, with his wife, is considering moving away from the Little Wekiva in the coming years. For now, he said, “there’s nothing really we can do about it.”

Across the country, homeowners are grappling with skyrocketing insurance rates and dropped policies, with those in states such as California, Florida, and Louisiana hit hardest. Growing evidence suggests the soaring costs only hint at the widespread unpriced risk facing homeowners as the warming climate leads to rising seas and more damaging hurricanes and wildfires.

As many as 6.8 million properties nationwide have been affected by insurance problems, but that number represents a fraction of the 39 million homes and businesses vulnerable to flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires whose risk has not been priced into their policies, according to a study by the First Street Foundation, a nonprofit researching climate risk. Together these 39 million properties constitute what the study characterizes as an “insurance bubble,” defined by properties likely overvalued because of underpriced or subsidized insurance.

Other research suggests the changing climate has not been priced into the real estate market in a way that reflects the risk. A separate study published last year in Nature Climate Change, a peer-reviewed journal, estimates that residential properties vulnerable to flooding are overvalued by $121 billion to $237 billion, in part because of the subsidized National Flood Insurance Program.

The study found that the most overvalued properties are concentrated in coastal counties where there are no flood risk disclosure laws and where there is less personal concern about climate change. Much of the overvaluation is driven by properties situated outside of the 100-year flood zones designed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Low-income households especially are in danger of losing home equity, potentially leading to wider wealth gaps. In Florida, properties are overvalued by more than $50 billion, according to the study.

The unpriced risk is important for many reasons. Municipalities that rely on property tax revenue may be vulnerable to potential shortfalls, the study says. The National Climate Assessment pointed out last year that the overvaluation of coastal properties makes it difficult to move people out of harm’s way, because of the limited amount of compensation available through flood insurance and federal flood disaster assistance programs.

“Florida is one of the riskiest places from a climate impact standpoint that you can live in,” said Rob Moore, director of the flooding solutions team at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “One only needs to look through a few years of front pages to see how many major hurricanes have struck this state, and that definitely had an impact on how both private insurers and insurers in the public realm are looking at risk and pricing it in the state of Florida.”

“We’re so far behind in regard to pricing in the climate. That’s why we’re seeing these big [insurance] spikes in places like Florida and California and Louisiana,” said Jeremy Porter, head of climate implications research at the First Street Foundation. “It’s the first mechanism to start to price climate into the housing market.”

Idk if it's the same anywhere else, but all of the rentals here in Florida where I'm at (apartments and houses alike) require 3 or 4 times more than the rent cost for you to be approved.

So, you'd have to make at least $5,400 a month JUST for the rent alone...not even including other bills and utilities.

I won't tell you what I make, but let's just say I make a fraction of that and I work two jobs.

This is why I live with my friends for now, and had to leave my kids with my ex because I can't afford to take care of them myself. If it weren't for that stupid retirement I would have just barely enough money for a studio apartment and it would be right, but at least I could have my kids with me.

And people wonder why I want to move so badly. Or insurances are higher, if you need homeowners insurance you get ONE OPTION, and that's Citizens... A STATE RUN INSURANCE COMPANY because all of the others fucked off out of Florida. For rentals, you can expect to have your shit increase for no good reason, and landlords don't do shit to fix the properties because they are too stingy.

And people wonder why homelessness is so bad. This shit right here, and in area, it's getting worse by the day.

1bedroom/1bath’s being $1800+…… we have to start lighting landlords on fire. i’m so serious

Understanding Your Auto Storage Options: Long-Term vs. Short-Term Vehicle Storage

When it comes to vehicle recovery and securing your car, one important decision you may face is whether to choose long-term or short-term vehicle storage. Understanding your options is essential to ensure that your towing and auto storage needs are met in the most efficient and cost-effective way. In this blog post, we'll explore the key differences between long-term and short-term auto storage needs you make the best choice for your vehicle.

Short-Term Vehicle Storage

Short-term vehicle storage is ideal for situations where you need temporary storage for your car. This could be due to an unexpected breakdown, an accident, or a short-term absence where you don't need your car for a few days or weeks. If you're waiting for repairs to be completed or need to store your vehicle while you're away for a vacation or business trip, short-term auto storage provides a safe and secure place to park your car.

Short-term storage is typically more affordable than long-term options, making it a convenient solution for those with temporary vehicle storage needs. Most towing services that offer short-term storage provide flexible rental terms, allowing you to store your car for a few days or weeks, depending on your needs. Additionally, short-term auto storage facilities are equipped with security measures to ensure your car is safe from theft or damage.

Long-Term Vehicle Storage

On the other hand, long-term vehicle storage is ideal for those who need to store their car for extended periods, such as during a relocation, long-term travel, or even during the off-season. Long-term storage facilities are designed to provide a secure environment for your vehicle, ensuring that it remains in good condition while not in use.

Choosing long-term storage typically involves a more permanent solution. Many services offer covered or indoor storage options for better protection from the elements. This is particularly beneficial for vehicles that will be stored for months at a time, as it prevents rust, wear, and damage from exposure to the weather. Long-term storage may also come with additional features, such as maintenance checks and regular starting of the vehicle, to ensure your car is ready when you need it.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Between Long-Term and Short-Term Storage

When deciding between short-term and long-term vehicle storage, it’s important to consider a few factors. First, determine how long you’ll need your car to be stored. For short-term needs, short-term storage is ideal, but if you plan on storing your vehicle for an extended period, long-term storage may be the more practical choice.

Next, think about the level of protection your vehicle needs. If your car will be stored for several months, long-term storage with added protection from weather elements may be more suitable. For shorter stays, short-term storage may offer enough security and convenience.

Conclusion

In summary, understanding the differences between long-term and short-term vehicle storage is essential when planning for your towing and auto storage needs. By choosing the right storage option, you ensure that your vehicle is stored securely, whether it's for a few days or several months. If you're in need of reliable vehicle storage, both options are available to cater to your specific needs and budget.

Construction Waste Disposal: Why Renting a Dumpster is Essential for Your Site

When managing a construction project, one of the key elements to ensure smooth progress is proper waste disposal. Construction sites can accumulate large amounts of debris, including materials like wood, drywall, metal, and concrete. Renting a dumpster for construction waste disposal is an essential solution for keeping your site organized, safe, and compliant with local waste management regulations. If you're working on a construction project in Liverpool, renting a dumpster can provide numerous benefits that will improve the efficiency of your worksite.

Streamlined Waste Removal

Construction waste disposal can quickly become overwhelming without a proper system in place. By renting a dumpster, you gain a designated area for all your trash and debris, keeping your site organized and clutter-free. A dumpster for rent ensures that all waste, whether it’s small scraps or large construction materials, can be efficiently discarded in one central location. This helps reduce the time and effort spent managing trash and lets your team focus on their work.

Safety and Compliance

A cluttered construction site can lead to potential hazards. Piles of debris on the ground can cause tripping accidents, injuries, or equipment damage. Renting a dumpster for construction waste ensures that debris is safely contained, reducing the risk of accidents. In addition, local waste disposal regulations often require proper management of construction waste to prevent environmental damage. Renting a dumpster from a professional service ensures that the waste is disposed of correctly, adhering to these legal requirements and helping you stay compliant with local regulations.

Saves Time and Money

Instead of making multiple trips to a landfill or hiring a waste removal service each time your site gets cluttered, renting a dumpster provides an all-in-one solution. A roll-off dumpster rental offers flexibility, with delivery and pickup scheduled at your convenience. This helps save time on waste disposal logistics and ensures that your team stays focused on the project. Furthermore, renting a dumpster is cost-effective, especially for larger construction projects, as you’ll have a set price for the entire rental period, avoiding the extra costs of multiple dump runs.

Environmental Responsibility

Proper disposal of construction waste is not only important for safety and efficiency but also for environmental protection. Many dumpster rental services prioritize recycling and eco-friendly waste management practices, helping divert materials like wood, metal, and concrete from landfills. By choosing a reputable dumpster rental service in Liverpool, you can ensure that your construction waste is handled in an environmentally responsible manner.

In conclusion, renting a dumpster for construction waste disposal is essential for keeping your site organized, safe, and compliant. Whether you're dealing with demolition debris or waste from new construction, a dumpster rental is a convenient, cost-effective solution to help streamline your project and promote responsible waste disposal.

Why Airport Shuttles Are Perfect for First-Time Flyers

Flying for the first time can be a mix of excitement and anxiety. Navigating an airport, understanding boarding procedures, and figuring out how to get to and from the airport are just a few of the challenges first-time flyers face. When it comes to ground transportation, choosing an airport shuttle is a convenient, affordable, and low-stress option. If you’re flying into Jacksonville, Florida, or need transportation to Jacksonville International Airport, services like Airport Taxi Jacksonville FL are well-equipped to help first-time travelers feel at ease.

This article explores why airport shuttles are an ideal choice for first-time flyers, providing valuable insights into their benefits and what travelers can expect.

1. The Convenience of Airport Shuttles

One of the greatest advantages of choosing an airport shuttle is the convenience it provides. With the hustle and bustle of airports, shuttles make navigating the journey from the airport to your destination, or vice versa, a breeze. Unlike other transportation methods that might require additional planning, airport shuttles are scheduled to pick up and drop off passengers at specific locations.

For first-time flyers, this convenience means there’s no need to worry about figuring out public transportation routes or renting a car. Airport shuttles offer a seamless connection from the airport terminal to your hotel, home, or any other location within the service area.

Convenience Benefits of Airport Shuttles:

·         No need to search for parking at the airport

·         Direct routes to common destinations, reducing travel time

·         Multiple pick-up and drop-off points throughout the city

2. Stress-Free Experience

Flying for the first time can already be nerve-wracking, and adding transportation stress on top of that can make the experience overwhelming. Airport shuttles eliminate much of the stress associated with airport transportation. Unlike car rentals, where you need to navigate new roads or tolls, shuttles have trained drivers who know the best routes, handle the driving, and navigate the traffic.

For those heading to or from Jacksonville, airport shuttle drivers are familiar with common routes, ensuring a smooth ride that helps alleviate any travel jitters. First-time travelers can sit back, relax, and focus on their trip rather than worry about transportation logistics.

3. Affordable Pricing

One of the standout features of airport shuttles is their affordability. Shuttles are generally priced lower than taxis or rental cars, making them ideal for budget-conscious travelers. First-time flyers, especially those traveling on a budget, will appreciate the lower rates that shuttles typically offer, making them a cost-effective choice for transportation to Jacksonville International Airport.

In Jacksonville, airport taxi services like Airport TaxiJacksonville FL often offer flat-rate pricing, which means there are no surprises when it comes to the cost of your ride. For first-time flyers, transparent and predictable pricing makes it easy to plan for transportation expenses.

Safety is often a primary concern for first-time flyers. Airport shuttles offer a safe and reliable way to travel between the airport and your destination. Shuttle companies adhere to strict safety standards, including regular vehicle maintenance, driver training, and adherence to local traffic regulations.

Benefits of Airport Shuttle Safety Measures:

·         Licensed and insured drivers with extensive training

6. Ideal for Solo Travelers and Families Alike

Whether you’re a solo traveler or with a group, airport shuttles can cater to all types of travelers. First-time solo flyers may feel intimidated by the thought of managing logistics alone, but an airport shuttle offers a comfortable and supportive experience. Shuttle services often group passengers traveling to similar destinations, which can help first-time flyers feel less isolated and more connected to their fellow travelers.

For families or groups, airport shuttles provide the added advantage of spacious, comfortable seating. Many shuttle services offer larger vehicles that can accommodate groups, ensuring that families with young children have ample room for both seating and luggage.

7. Door-to-Door Service and Multiple Stop Options

Airport shuttles often provide door-to-door service, meaning travelers are picked up from a specified location and dropped off directly at their final destination. This is especially useful for first-time flyers who may feel nervous about transferring between vehicles or navigating an unfamiliar area.

For those flying into Jacksonville, services like Airport Taxi Jacksonville FL offer both door-to-door service and the flexibility to make multiple stops. This is beneficial if you need to make additional stops at a hotel, a friend’s house, or even a local tourist attraction along the way.

8. Reduced Environmental Impact

As more people seek eco-friendly travel options, airport shuttles provide a greener choice compared to individual car rentals or taxis. By consolidating multiple passengers into one vehicle, shuttles help reduce the number of cars on the road, which in turn minimizes emissions and fuel consumption. For first-time flyers concerned about their environmental impact, airport shuttles are an excellent way to travel more sustainably.

Choosing transportation to Jacksonville International Airport via a shared shuttle service not only helps reduce carbon emissions but also encourages the use of group transit options, which benefit the environment by reducing traffic congestion and pollution.

9. Helpful Drivers and Staff

One of the most reassuring aspects of airport shuttle services is the helpfulness of the drivers and staff. For first-time flyers who may have questions about the area or concerns about the ride, shuttle drivers can be a great source of local knowledge and support. Many shuttle drivers take pride in their work and are more than willing to share insights, tips, and recommendations for exploring the area.

In Jacksonville, airport taxi and shuttle drivers often serve as informal tour guides, giving new visitors an insider’s perspective on the city’s attractions, dining options, and neighborhoods. This personalized touch can make a big difference for first-time travelers who appreciate guidance and friendly interactions.

10. Punctuality and Dependability

Punctuality is crucial for first-time flyers who may be anxious about making it to their flights on time. Airport shuttles operate on reliable schedules and are designed to get travelers to their destinations in a timely manner. Shuttle companies monitor flight schedules to adjust pick-up and drop-off times in case of delays, ensuring that travelers are never left stranded.

First-time flyers can rest assured that when they book an airport shuttle, they’re choosing a dependable service that prioritizes timeliness. For instance, Airport Taxi Jacksonville FL maintains a high standard of reliability, often arriving a few minutes early to allow for any unexpected delays along the way.

11. A Relaxed Introduction to the City

For first-time flyers, landing in a new city can be overwhelming. Airport shuttles provide a gentle, relaxed introduction to Jacksonville, allowing travelers to take in the sights without any pressure to navigate on their own. Many shuttle services offer scenic routes through the city’s highlights, letting travelers get a feel for the area in a stress-free way.

The ride from Jacksonville International Airport to various parts of the city, for example, passes through lush greenery, waterfront views, and glimpses of the city skyline. This comfortable, scenic transition can ease any jitters and make first-time travelers feel more at ease in an unfamiliar environment.

For first-time flyers, choosing the right airport shuttle service is essential. Here are some quick tips to help:

·         Research online reviews: Reading reviews from previous customers can help identify reliable services.

·         Consider pricing and options: Look for services with transparent pricing and flexible options, especially if you have specific pick-up or drop-off needs.
