Navigating Hail And Wind Damage Insurance Disputes In Texas

Hail and wind from powerful storms can wreak havoc on your home, leaving a trail of destruction that necessitates prompt and effective repairs. Unfortunately, an insurance dispute can bar the road to recovery.

I am attorney Brent A. Biggs, at the helm of The Biggs Firm in Odessa, Texas. I understand the unique challenges that homeowners in Odessa and Midland, as well as across West Texas, face when it comes to property damage from powerful storms. When you encounter unfair treatment from insurance companies after filing a claim due to hail or wind damage, I can provide the experienced guidance you need to navigate the legal process ahead.

The Critical Need For Timely Claim Approval

Strong winds and hail can cause substantial damage, particularly to the structural integrity of a property. Delays in repairs can lead to further deterioration, resulting in higher restoration costs in the future. An insurance dispute that delays your payment complicates things even more at a moment when time is of the essence.

The Post-Storm Struggle With Insurance Adjusters

After a storm, insurance adjusters are inundated with claims and must spread their resources thin. Amid this chaos, claims can be misplaced, critical decisions delayed and policyowner attempts at contact go unanswered.

As an attorney, I have seen members of our community throughout West Texas struggle with unresponsive insurance companies. The urgency to address property damage is paramount, yet homeowners are often left waiting, their claims lost in a sea of bureaucracy.

Battling Denied Claims And Underpayment Issues

The unfair denial of claims due to disputes about the extent of damage plagues many property owners. The insurer may acknowledge the storm itself but contest the severity of its impact, claiming there is no structural damage when there clearly is.

Another way an insurer may try to avoid payment is by alleging that you failed to prevent further damage once the storm passed. An example is not boarding a window broken during a storm, resulting in preventable water damage.

Even when claims are approved, insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, frequently falling short of covering repair costs.
