HURRICANE laura INSURANCE CLAIM ATTORNEYS

We fight denied, delayed, or underpaid insurance claims

In attempts to recover and rebuild from a hurricane, property owners submit claims for their damages and loss. Many could come to learn, that their insurance company is not as sympathetic to their cause and could either delay their payments, reduce the amount they pay out, or outright exclude and deny coverages. With so much in destruction and loss, it is not uncommon for an insurance company to try and protect their own interests, making it harder for property owners to get their fair compensation.

insurance companies have their lawyers. you should, too!

It is not uncommon for an insurance company to try and minimize their damages or protect their profits, which means there is a possibility they will undervalue your claim. Insurance policies can be quite vague as to what they cover or exclude, and ultimately certain benefits could be denied or underpaid. Hiring a lawyer shows the insurance company that you mean business, and they are more likely to expedite or reconsider your claim, especially if it avoids litigation.

Inspect for cracks and dents in frames, rips or holes in window screens, broken panes, or damage to the seal in double panes which creates fogging. Investigate the Attic - Make sure to inspect the hidden areas like attics and crawl spaces for flooding and water damage. Check Gutters & Pipes - Pipes, gutters, and downspouts can be cracked or chipped, or even be obstructed with debris. Access Fences, Decks & Porches - It is common for exterior surfaces to experience breaking, paint chipping, cracking and other damages.
