- A list of the damage to the outside of your property

We can use the information you give us to determine a fair value for your claim. We’ll also need to submit the evidence with your insurance claim to strengthen your chances of getting fair payment for your losses.

Assist After a Claim Denial
Insurance companies deny many hurricane damage claims every year because they prioritize making money over upholding their obligations to people like you. Fortunately, you do not have to just accept a denial.
We can step in to assist after a bad-faith denial. We know how to spot bad faith insurance practices after a hurricane and provide dedicated assistance if these companies try to treat you unfairly.

ClientFunds Available After a Hurricane
The money available to you after a hurricane will depend on the insurance coverage you purchased before the storm. Your Lake Charles hurricane damage claim attorney can go over your insurance policy to provide detailed information about your coverage.
Generally, most property insurance policies will provide policyholders with money to cover the costs of repairs for structural, foundation, and roof damage. You may also qualify for money to pay for any damage caused by:
- Moisture
- High winds
- Flying debris
Your insurance provider may need to pay for you to replace any possessions, furnishings, and valuables damaged or destroyed by the storm.
Does Insurance Cover Flood Damage?
Most basic insurance policies do not cover flood damage, even if the flooding occurred due to a hurricane. However, you may have a chance to get compensation for the damage caused by rising waters if you purchased a separate flood damage policy.
We can review your insurance paperwork to determine if you have a policy to cover this form of damage.
