If your residential or commercial property was damaged due to Hurricane Ida, which recently struck Lafayette, our hurricane relief team could help you get the compensation you need to start rebuilding your property and your life. Our team goes to work immediately fighting for the monetary coverage of your insurance policy and protecting you from shady insurance practices.
Our Lafayette hurricane damage lawyer helps you cope with the insurance company paperwork and details. Our legal team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers starts by reading and reviewing your policy, then helping you compile proof of your hurricane losses, including before and after photos of your property’s interior and exterior and inventory lists of your lost belongings. We handle every aspect of your case, from compiling evidence to fighting for a fair financial settlement.
We Are the Hurricane Damage Attorneys You Can Count on
When we represent you, we make sure your initial or resubmitted application is complete and submitted in a timely fashion. To make the recovery process easier for you, our legal team will also:
- Review your insurance policy and any riders or attachments
- Review your history of insurance claims and payouts
- Build a comprehensive and supportive evidence file
- File an appeal if your initial request was denied
Our team understands how insurance law works in New Orleans. We also know how difficult it can be to deal with insurance company forms, requests for information, and the red tape that typically accompanies requests for compensation. But, with our management and direction, you can compel your insurer to live up to the protections your policy should provide.
We Help You Combat Bad Faith Insurance Practices
It is unfortunate that not every insurance company acts ethically, lawfully, and in your favor when you file a request for monetary compensation. Louisiana has laws in place designed to prevent bad faith insurance practices. Per RS 22:1973, your insurer owes you:
- A duty of good faith
- A duty of fair dealing
- Fair claims adjustments
If they fail to meet these good faith practices, your insurer could even be liable for additional monetary damages. In addition, we help combat adverse responses to your application, including misrepresentation, failure to provide prompt payment after reaching an agreement or altering an application or its facts.
We Handle the Fine Points of Your Hurricane Damage Case
When a hurricane strikes, insurance companies, and their representatives are forced to juggle multiple claims at once. While our team understands the frustration this can lead to; it does not excuse mishandling or lowballing of your application. To ensure your case is handled correctly, we will:
- Itemize your hurricane damage
- Explain beneficial assistance programs
- Handle online, written, and verbal communication
- Handle all the details involved in filing an appeal
We help you document your hurricane losses and support you from the beginning to the end of the compensation process. In addition to attentive, responsive legal assistance, we also work hard to provide ongoing support throughout a difficult recovery process.
