What Compensation Can You Get After Hurricane Francine?

The money available to you after Hurricane Francine will depend on the coverage provided by your homeowners’ insurance policy. If you have basic coverage, you may receive money to cover superficial and structural damage caused by a hurricane’s rain and high winds. For example, your insurance may cover the costs of repairing:

  • Broken windows
  • Cracks in the walls, ceilings, and foundation
  • Broken gas lines, pipes, and wires
  • Damage to your electrical system
  • Mildew and mold
  • Damage to your floors or roof

An attorney can provide information about how to appropriately track and document all the damage to your property. "I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t been for them."

Will Your Insurance Cover Flood Damage from Hurricane Francine?

Generally, homeowners’ insurance will not cover flood damage. Therefore, a basic policy may not cover the damage caused by Francine’s storm surge. However, if you purchased an extra policy for flood damage, you may get compensation for these losses.

"The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me the renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road."

Do You Have to Pay a Deductible for Hurricane Damage?

Your insurance likely includes a hurricane deductible if you live in Louisiana. These deductibles determine how much you have to pay towards repairs of your home before your insurance policy kicks in.

Generally, we have high hurricane deductibles in our state. Depending on your situation, you may need to pay:

  • Wind and hail deductibles for general weather events
  • Named storm deductibles for storms that reach 39 mph
  • Hurricane deductibles for storms that reach 74 mph

These deductibles can also apply to commercial property owners, though Louisiana Statute § 22:1267.1 states that insurance companies can only force commercial property owners to pay one hurricane deductible every calendar year.

As hurricane season progresses, you may meet your deductibles. You can learn more about this part of your insurance policy with our team.

"They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something, they were there for us. I put my trust in them, and I don’t regret it."

Can You Prepare for Hurricanes in Louisiana?

You can take steps to prepare before a hurricane hits. Depending on your situation and the time before the storm, you may need to:

  • Take pictures of the outside of your home to document its condition before the storm
  • Make a video of the interior and exterior of your home
  • Keep a list of your belongings (especially valuable possessions)
  • Keep receipts and invoices for expensive items
  • Board or tape your windows
  • Find a copy of your insurance policy

Most importantly, ensure that you prioritize your safety when a storm like Hurricane Francine comes in. You can learn more about what to do with our hurricane preparation and survival guide. The officials have an active season predicted for 2024, so it’s essential to make sure your family knows what to do in the event of a storm.

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.
