Some Katrina Hurricane Claims Still Await Payment

After Hurricane Katrina, insurance companies sent in adjusters from all around the country to deal with hurricane claims. The law says claims must be adjusted within 30 days or the company will face penalties as high as 25 percent or even more. Delays are caused, however, when the company and the insured cannot agree on the claim amount.
- Was it wind or water? Many claims remain unsettled because the insurance company says water destroyed the house. Only federal insurance is responsible for flood damage. The homeowner may contend that wind caused the damage. Did a structure disappear under a 30-foot wall of water? Or did the wind knock it down first? As an attorney for homeowners and businesses, I reach out to a network of experts to determine the cause and then negotiate a settlement.
- A rejected claim may be wrong. If an insurance company denied a claim, that does not necessarily end the discussion. If you feel your claim was wrongly denied, contact us. My team and I will help you decide what to do next. I am thoroughly experienced with insurance coverage disputes and litigation.
- A delayed hurricane claim can cause hardship and losses. What happens if the insurance company keeps putting off the decision to pay your claim? A late payment can mean a delay in getting your business back on track, expenses while your family waits for repairs so you can move back in your home, stress as you try to make decisions without knowing the value of your claim.
