Windstorm Damage Insurance Claim Denial
When severe thunderstorm warnings light up our cell phones and televisions, we prepare for heavy rain, lightening and possible hail. Severe storms can pose a combination of these threats, including the risk of high winds.
Windstorm damage can come in the form of straight-line downbursts, tropical weather systems or winds from tornado activity. Wind damage can threaten the exterior, interior and surrounding landscape of a home or business.
Wind repairs often come with a high price tag, and property owners need timely payment from insurance companies to repair the damage. Any unrepaired damages can leave your property vulnerable.
Windstorm damage claim denials only add to the stress of putting your life and property back together. The attorneys of Schechter,Shaffer and Harris handle your claim denial while you focus on your family and property.
Recovering After a Storm
We understand the unique concerns that different property owners face after storm damage. We are here to help with your recovery and windstorm damage claim denial.
- Residential Home Owners: Your priority is the safety of your family and securing the valuables in your home. Residential homeowners with severely wind-damaged property will often need temporary housing. Our attorneys can take the lead in your claims case while you take care of your life. The financial payout of your claim should reflect the damage to your home, and we fight for every penny.
- Commercial Property Owners: Unlike residential homes, a commercial property is “home” to many owners. The business tenants of a commercial property may be forced to cease operation if wind damaged storefront windows, awnings, or opened the roof to water leaks. We can help clients gain insurance recovery for both the physical damage and lost profit due to business interruption.
- Business Owners: Much like commercial property, business owners may lose valuable time when closing their doors after a windstorm. Broken glass can be quickly repaired, but more severe, costly damage may require a larger insurance payouts.
