Houston Hurricane Insurance Attorney

Insurance Claims and Disputes Regarding Wind Damage

After a hurricane or a tropical storm, many residents and business owners are left with an unbelievable amount of damage to their property. While some insurance providers cover any damage by a hurricane as specific in their hurricane damage insurance policy, others fail to abide by their promise. This sometimes occurs when an insurance provider does not have the funds or resources, or simply does not want to pay out all of the claims for their clients. Sometimes, the insurance company will have their client pay a large deductible before they will help pay for any of the damages. In other cases, a hurricane will be downgraded to a tropical storm in some areas, yet will still cause just as much damage. Some hurricane insurance providers may claim that a person's coverage does not extend to any damage caused by tropical storms, even if it is an equal amount of damage due to the extreme speeds of the wind.

Residents all across the Gulf Coast states, including Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Louisiana, are still struggling with the aftermath of the last few destructive hurricanes and tropical storms, and are unable to rebuild. Their businesses were forced to close up shop and relocate, possibly costing thousands and thousands of dollars. Overall, many individuals and families in this area lost most of what they had, and are sinking into debt as a result of their uncooperative insurance providers.
