When Do You Need a Wind and Hail Damage Insurance Claims Lawyer in Texas?

Wind and hail can wreak havoc on your home. The damage may be cosmetic, or it may be more severe, requiring prompt attention to avoid additional damage from the elements. When you experience damage from these natural elements, you expect your insurance company to uphold its duty to pay for your repairs. Perhaps you have been unpleasantly surprised that your insurance company has denied your wind and hail damage claim, or maybe you are seeking to avoid such a scenario. In either case, you should take early steps to work with an experienced wind and hail damage claims lawyer.

Unfortunately, insurance companies are notorious for denying claims or failing to pay the full claim amount. These companies are in the business of making money, and sometimes that means swindling their customers.

If your insurance company has denied your wind damage or hail damage claim, you need an experienced hail or wind damage claim lawyer on your side to help you navigate the steps ahead.

Why Do Insurance Companies Deny Wind and Hail Damage Claims?

If your insurance company denied your wind and hail damage claim, it probably stated a reason — even if that reason doesn’t reflect your actual case or their actual purpose for the denial. Here are a few reasons insurance companies cite for denying property damage claims:

  • Failing to file the claim on time
  • Not paying premiums leading up to the claim
  • Insufficient documentation of damage
  • Including false or misleading statements
  • Claiming damage outside of your policy coverage

We may be able to follow up with an appeal that addresses the reasons cited by the insurance company, or they may be denying your claim in bad faith. Contact our wind and hail damage claims legal team to schedule a free strategy session.

Common Types of Damage After Wind and Hail Storms in Texas

Strong winds and hail storms can leave thousands of dollars of damage in their wake — even after just a few minutes. Wind can damage several aspects of your property. After a period of strong winds, you may notice the following types of damage:

  • Loose or missing shingles
  • Fallen trees
  • Dented siding
  • Broken windows
  • Loose or broken gutters
  • Severe roof damage

Meanwhile, hail can impact and dent all of the external features on your home, such as your:

  • Roof
  • Windows
  • Siding
  • Air conditioner units
  • Garage
  • Shed

A hailstorm can also cause significant damage to a car parked outside. Much of the resale value of a vehicle can hinge on its cosmetic condition, and damage to the windshield, windows, or sunroof/moonroof can also prevent its normal use. Hail damage to your vehicle will often be included if you have comprehensive coverage for your car insurance, which would be handled separately from damage to your home.

When an insurance company refuses to pay for expensive hail and wind damage, you may be left with a hefty repair bill. Without compensation through your insurance policy, you may be unable to pay for the repairs you desperately need to restore your home to a safe condition. When you work with our hail damage attorney team, we can help you dispute the claim denial and seek the funds you need to repair the damage and move on with your life.

What to Do When an Insurance Company Denies a Wind and Hail Damage Insurance Claim in Texas

If your insurer has denied your hail and wind damage claim, you will need to file an appeal. This process is very involved, and you only have a limited time to file. Our wind and hail damage claims attorneys are experienced in organizing and backing up your claim information before presenting it to the insurance company in a timely and effective manner.

Filing an appeal with the insurance company will involve the following steps:

  • Reviewing your homeowners insurance policy to determine the appeals process.
  • Reviewing your coverage to determine where your insurer breached its duty.
  • Collecting and organizing evidence to support your appeal.
  • Filing a formal complaint.

Approaching the appeals process strategically is a crucial step towards your success. Your attorney can help you navigate this process. Contact our team today to schedule a free strategy session.

What Happens If an Insurance Company Denies an Appeal?

If your insurance company has denied your appeal of the claim denial, your next step may be to sue your insurer. Denial of a valid claim may be due to bad faith on the part of the insurance company.

Your hail damage attorney can help you file your lawsuit against the insurance company, gather evidence to prove your claim, and guide you through the legal process. As you seek a settlement, alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration may come into play.

Your lawyer will examine the specific elements of your case to determine an effective route to seek fair and appropriate compensation.

How Can an Experienced Texas Wind and Hail Damage Claims Attorney Help?

If an insurance company has denied your claim for wind and hail damage, you may be unsure how to proceed. Without in-depth, specific insurance knowledge or experience, you may not have the necessary skills, resources, or perspective to effectively appeal your claim denial on your own.

Our team of wind and hail damage insurance claim lawyers is prepared to help you appeal your claim denial and take other legal measures to seek a fair and appropriate settlement. You should involve an experienced Texas insurance claims attorney early in the process, whether you are filing your initial claim or responding to a claim denial.

Frequestly Ask Questions

Should I Take What the Insurance Company Offers Me?

Typically, the answer to this is absolutely not. Insurance companies are looking out for their own best interests and will try to get you to settle for an offer that is far below what you deserve. At McLaurin Law, we can help you seek an appropriate settlement.

What's the Time Limit for Filing a Claim?

After an accident, you should typically file a claim with the insurance provider of the negligent party who is responsible for your accident. It is important that you move with haste in filing a personal injury claim with the insurance carrier after an injury has occurred. Should a lawsuit eventually become necessary, it is also important to keep in mind that in the state of Texas, you must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date the injury occurred.

What Should I Do after an Injury?

Your number one priority should be your well-being. Seek out medical advice as soon as possible to ensure that you get the treatment you need. You should also move quickly to consult with an attorney to assist you with your personal injury claim. Critical events occur early in the personal injury claims process—such as interviews with adjusters and early damages assessments—so do not delay speaking with an attorney.
