HURRICANE DAMAGE ATTORNEYS

Southern residents are no strangers to hurricane season and the dangers it brings. As we’ve seen in recent years, the devastating losses from natural disasters including Hurricane Katrina (2005) and Hurricane Harvey (2017) and the 2021 state-wide freeze have left residents at the mercy of their insurance companies to help them fix their problems. But when the time comes to file a claim or to collect on that policy and your property insurance company denies your request, this can delay your path to recovery. So, what happens next?

 

Remember, it is your insurance company’s duty to value your claims fairly. If you believe your insurance company is engaging in bad faith practices or not fairly evaluating your claim, hiring one of the environmental disaster attorneys at Sears Crawford is the next critical step for you to take. 

 

The potential damages to your property a hurricane or other disaster can cause include damage to your roof, flood damage, damages to outside structures like fences, and damages caused by falling trees. These damages are not only dangerous but can be incredibly costly to repair. At Sears Crawford, we help our clients recover maximum compensation for their hurricane or environmental disaster damage claims by holding insurance companies accountable for your damages. Together, we can determine if your insurance company undervalued or improperly denied your claim and the damages you can recover as a result of their actions.

FLOOD DAMAGE ATTORNEYS

Whether it’s caused by heavy rainfall or a broken pipe, flooding is a common and extremely dangerous natural disaster in the South. Damages caused by flooding can also be incredibly expensive, especially when standard property insurance policies don’t cover flood damages. In fact, as of 2018, only 15% of Americans have proper flood insurance

 

If your home is flooded and you do not have flood insurance, document your damages thoroughly and contact a natural disaster lawyer immediately so we can determine other legal options for possible compensation for your losses. Depending on how/why the flooding occurred, other parties may be held liable for your flooding.

 

Compensable damages from flooding include structural damage that can weaken the structure of your home, damage to your furniture and belongings, mold growth, bacteria growth, rusting, and broken pipes. If your flood damage claim was denied by your insurance company or you feel the offer is well below what you should be compensated, an experienced natural disaster attorney from Sears Crawford can help you.

 

We have hands-on experience dealing with property damage cases where we can fight toe-to-toe with your insurance company or other liable parties.
