Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I'm having an issue with our association manager,over a year a go we had a flood in our condo due to the main piping of the building, and the association said that they would cover all damages. well now its been over a year, and we still haven't got our new floors. I went in to speak with association manager, and he told me that he won't take out a claim on his insurance and wants us to call our insurance company, well we wont due so because it was not our fault and we have a verbal agreement that they would replace our floors. What can we do? we need to take legal action. please help!
