Why Hire a Hurricane Damage Claim Lawyer in New Iberia?

Hiring a New Iberia personal injury lawyer after a major storm means you’ll have someone on your side, there to put your best interests first while helping you navigate the complexities of a hurricane damage claim.

We know that you have enough on your plate after a hurricane. You deserve the time to focus on the needs of your family and getting things back on track. You can rely on us to handle legal matters, so you never have to split your focus.

An Attorney Can Handle the Insurance Company

Getting help from a legal professional matters if you need money from your insurance company to cover property repairs. These companies put their profits first, which means they often try to delay or outright deny valid claims.

Fortunately, you do not have to try to deal with bad faith insurance practices on your own. You can rely on us to take charge, aggressively pushing back against subpar offers or unfair denials. You paid your insurance premiums; allow us to help you get the money you’re owed after a storm.

What Compensation Can You Get After a Hurricane?

Your hurricane damage claim attorney in New Iberia can help you file a claim for money to cover the costs of repairing the damage caused by a natural disaster. The specific funds available in your situation will depend on the insurance policy you purchased before the storm. In many cases, property insurance will cover the costs of repairing:

  • Foundation damage
  • Structural damage
  • Roof damage

Your policy may cover damage caused by everything from high winds to flying debris to heavy rains. In addition to covering the costs of damage to the structures on your property, you may receive funds to pay for repairing or replacing:

  • Appliances
  • Household furnishings
  • Artwork and other decorations
  • Vehicles
  • Landscaping

We need to read over your insurance policy so we can provide more information about the damages covered by the insurance company. We’re fully prepared to fight to bring you the financial reimbursement you secured when you signed up for your insurance policy.

Does Insurance Cover All Hurricane Damage?

Basic property owner’s insurance may not cover all of the damage done by a hurricane. For example, most standard policies will not include coverage for flood damage, a common problem caused by hurricanes.

However, you may still receive money to cover flood damage if you purchased additional flood insurance. We can review all of your polices right now to provide you with more information.

Why Choose Us to Handle Your Hurricane Damage Claim?

Our team at Laborde Earles proudly serves our neighbors in Louisiana. We understand firsthand the destructive power of hurricanes and know what it takes to successfully resolve insurance claims for clients in your situation.

We have extensive experience and the resources to represent your best interests. You can rely on us to:

Gather Evidence to Back Up Your Insurance Claim

You must reach out to us quickly after a hurricane so we can gather evidence that establishes the full extent of your losses. We often need:

  • Photos and videos taken of your property before and after the storm
  • A list of the content of each room in your home or commercial property
  • A list of all the exterior damage caused by the storm

We also ask you to provide us with copies of your insurance policy and receipts for any contractors you paid to temporarily repair your property to prevent further damage. The more information you can provide us about the damage to your property, the stronger we can make your insurance claim.

Handle Your Initial Claim

We can take charge of submitting the initial paperwork to the insurance company. We move forward quickly, so the insurance company cannot claim that you took too long to submit your claim.

Assist After a Denial

We understand why a hurricane damage claim would be denied and can help you contest a denial. Sometimes, we just need to provide additional information to get the company to reconsider. In other cases, we may need to fight aggressively or even take your claim to court if the company engages in bad faith practices. In either situation, you can rely on us to provide the support you deserve.
