If your home or business suffered damage during the 2020 hurricane season, and your insurance company denied, delayed, or devalued your claim, contact us for a free case evaluation.
Kenneth M. Willis is an aggressive Trial Attorney with experience in Hurricane property damage claims and has recovered six figure claims on behalf of clients who were denied or underpaid for their insurance claims.
Hurricane Laura devastated vast parts of Southwest Louisiana leaving hundreds of thousands without power and causing extensive damage throughout the state. Hurricane Delta left another layer of damage in coastal Louisiana, where the storm made landfall only six weeks after Hurricane Laura. Laura and Delta are believed to have caused billions of dollars in damage across the state.
As the rebuilding process begins from Hurricane Laura and Delta, so will the claims process for property damage. Unfortunately, many insurance companies fail to timely and fairly compensate victims from storm damage. Don’t navigate this process alone and become another uncompensated or undercompensated Hurricane Laura and/or Delta damaged victim.
Willis Law & Justice handles Hurricane Laura claims for individual property owners and business owners against insurance companies for a denied claim, a delayed claim, loss of use of home, business interruption, renter’s insurance claim, property damage, flood damage, and bad faith claim handling.
No upfront fees will be charged to you. If we don’t collect on your behalf, no fees will be incurred. We also only get paid if we recover more money for a property owner or a business owner than an insurance company initially offered to pay for Hurricane Laura & Delta property damage.
Obtain a copy of your homeowner’s insurance policy and review it in detail. If you do not have your insurance policy, report your damage to an insurance agent with a phone call or email and request for a copy of your policy. Specifically, review your declaration page in your insurance policy and understand both the types of coverage and the coverage limits that are associated with your policy. For example, check to see if you have additional living expenses, business interruption coverage, etc.
Document all property damage by taking as many pictures of the damage as possible. This includes pictures of the dwelling, other structures, and contents showing the full extent of property damage sustained.
Keep a record of your communications with the insurance company. Document the date you first contacted your insurer to file a claim, the first date that your insurance company sent an appraiser to survey your property, the date of which payment for your loss was first issued to you, and any other relevant communication with your insurer concerning your property damage claim.
Keep all receipts, estimates, and invoices, related to the repair work or replacement costs incurred as a result of your property damage claim. Depending on your insurance policy, you may be entitled to compensation for additional living expenses incurred as a result of the property damage claim, so save all receipts relating to any expenses you incur as a result of the loss.
Contact us- knowledgeable and experienced attorneys who handle insurance disputes arising out of property damage claims. You should not rely exclusively on your insurance company's appraiser's adjustment of your property damage resulting from a hurricane or other casualty loss. You have the right to an independent appraisal to assess the value of your property damage, regardless of whether you have already received payment of insurance proceeds for your hurricane claim.
