Our Thibodaux hurricane damage lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you fight for maximum insurance coverage to repair or rebuild your damaged property. Whether you have one or multiple insurance policies in place, we help you prove the extent of your property damage, understand the value of your policy, document your losses, and negotiate a financial settlement with your insurance provider.
Your Fight for Compensation Starts By Assessing Your Property Damage
The days and weeks after a hurricane are typically consumed by assessing your property damage, making any essential repairs that cannot wait, and resituating your family in a secure location. While you focus on those tasks, our attorneys could start building your case for the insurance company right away. The types of damages we help you document include:
- Roof and foundation damage
- Complete property loss
- Water and flood damage
- Landscaping damage or loss
- Damaged or destroyed outbuildings
- Loss of personal property
In addition to documenting your damages, we help you calculate and prove their value with receipts, before and after photos, videos, and other vital documents. We also navigate the scope of your policy, make sure the adjuster fairly and accurately assesses your damages, and ensure the insurance company is honest and aboveboard when handling your case.

ClientHow Our Firm Helps You Navigate Your Hurricane Insurance Policy
Our hurricane damage team sympathizes with the frustration and anxiety of waiting for a resolution to your case. We also understand Louisiana’s insurance laws and your insurer’s responsibility to act on your request for coverage. According to Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) guidelines, your insurance provider is required to:
- Start the adjustment process within 30 days of being notified
- Make a payment on your settlement within 30 days of reaching an agreement
- Not allow you to exceed your hurricane deductible amount
- Fulfill the terms of your insurance policy
Our lawyers fight hard to make your wait for compensation as short as possible by streamlining the process wherever we can and holding the insurance provider responsible for handling your case appropriately. In addition, we give your case the attention to detail it needs along with a fair valuation of your real and personal property damage.
What We Include in Your Insurance Claim and Case File
When our team fights by your side, we build a comprehensive insurance file for you. It will contain copies of all claim forms, proof of submission, a copy of the adjuster’s report, findings from our independent investigation, and evidence of your hurricane damages. We also make sure it contains:
- A copy of your insurance policy and all add-ons
- Detailed property lists and damage estimates
- Receipts for hotels or temporary home rentals
- Receipts for boarding up or securing your property
- Proof of all insurance communication and responses
Our team does not bombard you with requests for information. Instead, we gather as much evidence on your behalf as possible. We also help you file an appeal if your insurance provider made you an insufficient monetary offer or denied you any coverage at all.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
