Storm Claims Attorneys.

STORM CLAIMS

Do I need a lawyer for my claim? If the insurance company Adjuster does not approve your claim after review of your Estimate of repair and his inspection, if the claim is large or small, you should speak with Walker Law Group. You will get great advice for free about what they could do for you to let you decide if you should engage them. Adjusters take the Walker Law Group seriously because they are well qualified and knowledgeable to pursue every recourse for you.

INSURANCE

Two types of insurance cover your property – Homeowners for home or business – and Flood insurance. Homeowners covers wind damage such as a tree that falls on your roof or broken windows and water damage. Flood insurance follows FEMA rules and is limited to the structure not the outside elements caused by flooding. When you report a claim, the insurance company sends its representative to assess the damage, and you are made an offer for your losses. Your interest if a full and fair payment requires the Walker Law Group to represent you.

What To Do in Case of a Homeowner’s Claim:

1. Check coverages as storm season nears.

2. Place your policy in a spot safe from water and fire.

3. Call your agent to report the damage. Do not commit to the extent of loss without a professional estimate.

4. Repair any items that will cause more damage if not repaired. If you cannot make necessary repairs without insurance companies' assistance, ensure they know.

5. Take photos and videos to document all the damage and the source. If much damage is water-related, it may be important whether the water came from a damaged roof, rising groundwater, or surge. If damage is extensive, keep a journal – recording damages found, repair status and conversations with insurance reps, contractors, and other professionals involved.

6. Wait for the insurer's representative to assess the damage and try to be there if necessary.

7. Research and hire a reputable contractor to assess the cost of repairs. You can't always trust the insurance company to give you a fair estimate. Only make repairs once the insurance company has viewed the damage.

8. Present the claim. Homeowners may want to present uncomplicated claims. If the claim is well documented with a reputable contractor estimate, it can often be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. More extensive claims usually demand lawyers' assistance.

How do I hire a hurricane dispute lawyer near me to get help with the insurance claim? Most hurricane dispute attorneys agree to be paid if they can make a recovery on your behalf. Some lawyers will charge in advance with the understanding that it is to be paid from the recovery amount once the recovery is successful. If successful, sometimes the insurance company often pays the hurricane dispute lawyer fees.
