When to Hire a Hurricane Damage Claim Lawyer in Baton Rouge

You can bolster your chances of getting fair payment for all the damage caused by a hurricane by contacting a Baton Rouge personal injury lawyer as quickly as possible. We know that you have a lot to deal with after a storm, but getting legal help on your side matters.

Without an attorney’s help, the insurance company may try to push you around. These companies often try to stall storm damage claims. They could undervalue your losses or engage in bad faith practices, sometimes resulting in a claim denial. Fortunately, we know how to handle insurance representatives, and we level the playing field on behalf of clients like you. We want to help you get the money that’s rightfully yours, so you can make repairs and move forward after a natural disaster.

Money Available After a Hurricane

Your hurricane damage claim attorney in Baton Rouge can help you secure the money you need to cover the costs of damage to the structure, foundation, or roof of your property. You may also qualify for funds to pay for damaged landscaping, pools, appliances, furnishings, and other valuables.

Depending on the specific details of your insurance policy, the company may need to pay for all the damage caused by a hurricane’s heavy winds and flying debris. In some cases, you’ll get the funds you need to pay for damage from moisture.

We can help you determine a fair value for your claim by reviewing all the damage to your property and carefully going over your insurance policy. We’re fully ready to help you secure the reimbursement you deserve after a storm.

Does Insurance Cover Flood Damage From a Hurricane?

Traditional insurance policies do not cover the damage done by flooding, even when the rising waters come from a hurricane. However, you may still receive funds to address this damage if you purchased extra flood insurance.

We can review all the insurance paperwork on your behalf to determine what you qualify to receive.

How We Build Your Hurricane Damage Insurance Claim

Our law firm immediately gets to work on your insurance claim after a major storm. We need to collect all the information you have about the damages you sustained. For example, we may ask you to provide us with:

  • Pictures or videos of your property before and after the storm
  • A detailed list of all your damaged or destroyed personal property
  • A copy of your property owner’s insurance policy

Additionally, we request that you provide receipts for any repair work that has already been done to your property. You do not have to fix all the damage after a storm, but the insurance company will expect you to take steps to minimize additional damage. For example, you may need to board over broken windows or have someone make repairs to damage to your roof. After we have all the relevant information and evidence, we can fill out and submit your insurance claim. We also take care of any insurance negotiations required after a hurricane.

We Know How to Handle an Insurance Denial

Insurance companies will deny your claim for compensation if possible. They want to build their profits, and that often means refusing valid claims and ignoring the hardship caused by these decisions.

So, what do you do if insurance denies your hurricane damage claim ? In this situation, you can get legal help after a claim denial.

We can review the explanation for the denial and explain the steps you can take to dispute the company’s decision. In many cases, we can support you through this process.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.
