How We Help Storm Damage Insurance Claimants

Our Louisiana storm damage claim lawyers focus on helping clients who have already filed a claim but are now encountering unexpected issues due to insurance company interference. We can stand up for you when the future suddenly seems uncertain. You should feel free to focus on other parts of your life, like your job, business, education, or family, while we get to work on your case because we can manage all aspects of it from start to finish.

Let us know if your storm damage insurance provider has:

• Denied your claim: Claim denials are not inherently incorrect, but, in many cases, denials are made arbitrarily or through some misinterpretation of a policy’s rules. We can challenge insurance companies who have wrongfully denied your storm damage claim and demand full compensation for your owed coverage and possibly additional damages for the hardship the wrongful denial caused you.
• Delayed owed payments: An insurance bad faith tactic we have seen often as property damage insurance attorneys is delaying payments once they are approved. Some insurers wait as long as legally possible – or longer – before giving payment or settlement to a policyholder. The objective might be to hope you lose track of the payments and not realize you have not been fully compensated.
• Undervalued the damages: Insurance companies will send an adjuster to your home or business after a storm to see the extent of the damage up close. Dishonest insurance adjusters can intentionally undervalue the total damages by downplaying the severity of the damage or insist that some of the damage existed before the storm passed.
• Threatened to cancel your policy: After a storm tears across a stretch of Louisiana, some people are shocked to get a notification that their policy coverage will soon be canceled. This tactic is used to try to escape all accountability by dropping the claimant before they have a chance to file a storm damage insurance claim.
