We’ve all heard the old adage “April showers bring May flowers” time and time again. The former half of this saying has certainly been the case in 2016, with heavy thunderstorms and showers hitting the greater Houston area throughout the month of April and expected to continue throughout part of May. While the “May flowers” are yet to be seen, this inclement weather has definitely left its own share of parting gifts in the form widespread flood damage. As of Monday, April 18th, flash flood warnings have been issued nine counties and have resulted in the thousands of homes being evacuated, with Houston city officials stating this is the most significant flood event in Texas since Tropical Storm Allison in 2001.
Has Your Flood Insurance Claim Been Denied?
While many homeowners with flood insurance policies will rightfully turn to their insurance companies for financial assistance, insurance providers may sometimes prove to be less-than-willing to fulfill their end of the bargain. Despite their friendly outward appearances, insurance companies are still businesses whose primary goal is to make money and please their shareholders. To protect company profits, insurance adjusters may sometimes employ unethical tactics to deny or limit a policyholder’s claim.
If you have found yourself stonewalled by an uncooperative insurance company over your entitled flood coverage, you may be have grounds to take legal action against your insurance provider in pursuit of your deserved compensation. Through a detailed examination of your insurance policy and the extent of the damage to your home, a skilled attorney can help you file a claim with your insurance company and demand full and fair compensation on your behalf.
