Explain Your Next Steps

We know the confusion you can feel after a hurricane, especially one that caused significant property damage. We’ll take the time to review your situation and detail the steps you need to take to request compensation from your insurance company.

Answer Your Questions

We know that you may have many questions after a storm, especially if your insurance brings up the cost of a hurricane deductible. You may face this extra fee after the first storm to damage your property every year in Louisiana. We can provide more information when you contact us for help.

Collect Evidence

We gather any evidence you can provide to show the extent of your losses after a hurricane. For example, we may need:

  • A copy of your property owner’s insurance policy
  • Photos and videos that show your property before and after the storm
  • A list of the damage to the outside of your property
  • A list (by room) of all your possessions

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.

Handle the Initial Hurricane Damage Claim

We deal with the insurance company on your behalf after a storm. We can submit your claim in a timely fashion, preventing the insurance company from making claims that you missed a deadline to request compensation.

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.

Funds 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 lawyer 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.
