Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Achieves Highest Storm Claim Verdict in Louisiana

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers is proud to share that we achieved the highest storm damage claim verdict ever won in Louisiana, securing $11,800,000 for our client in Lake Charles. 

 

David Laborde and Digger Earles represented a church that was severely damaged from hurricanes Laura and Delta. The church dutifully had the insurance it needed to cover the damage and had been paying for it for years. However, when the church needed to use its insurance to cover the damage from the hurricanes, the insurance company drug their feet and didn’t offer them nearly the amount they needed to cover the damage done, acting in bad faith.

David and Digger came in to hold the insurance company accountable. The company refused to pay our client what they needed, so we took them to trial in front of a jury. After three years of the insurance company refusing to pay what our client needed, we were able to achieve an $11.8 million verdict for the church.

The church can now fix the damages and continue serving its community through faith in Lake Charles.
