Louisiana Wind Insurance Claims Attorney

Louisiana Wind Damage Insurance Claims

Strong winds brought by storms like hurricanes and tornadoes can cause extensive property damage for businesses and homeowners. This is especially true for Louisiana residents, as we are no strangers to powerful storms. While you may feel a sense of security knowing that you pay expensive insurance premiums every month to protect against this type of damage, you can’t always be certain that your insurance company will make good on your claim. In fact, it is not uncommon for insurance companies to underpay or outright deny coverage for property damages to your home or commercial property. When this happens, never underestimate the power of an experienced attorney with a background in insurance law.

Types of Wind Damage

High winds can cause anything from minor damage to a complete loss of your property or personal belongings. It can result in structural damage, broken windows, uprooted trees, damage from flying debris, roof damage, and more. Most commonly, the causes of winds strong enough to create such damage include natural disasters like tornados and hurricanes. Our great state has seen its fair share of both. We’ve seen firsthand the hurricane damage caused by storms like Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Laura, and Hurricane Ida, to name a few. We’ve also been subject to a number of tornadoes, many of which have left absolute destruction in their path. 

Other Types of Homeowner’s Insurance Claims

Homeowners insurance is similar to car insurance in that you pay a certain amount to your insurance agency to protect against unforeseeable accidents, or in this case, a natural disaster. 

Aside from wind damage claims, there are a number of other specific homeowners insurance claims we handle on a regular basis, including water and flood damage, hurricane damage, and hail damage. 

Water Damage

Many people take out a water damage insurance policy to account for things like leaky roofs, water stains, burst pipes, ice dams, and more.  At Joubert Law Firm, we have helped many property owners obtain the compensation they need to complete the necessary repairs they need following water damage of any kind.

Flood Damage

Believe it or not, water damage claims don’t actually cover flooding, as this is considered a separate event. Property damage claims for floods are specific to causes like heavy rain, hurricanes, storm surges, and other natural events. They cover things like structural damage and damage to personal property.

Hurricane Damage

The last thing you want to have to deal with while dealing with a hurricane’s aftermath is a dispute with your insurance provider. Even while we can track and get ready for these storms before they strike, there is often no way to predict the degree of devastation they will cause. That’s what hurricane damage claims are for. Broken windows, fallen power lines, badly damaged roofs, and uprooted trees are just a few examples of the kinds of destruction that might be left behind. Our Louisiana hurricane damage lawyers fight for the proper funding to fix and replace such harm and ensure our clients get the most out of their hurricane damage claim.

Hail Damage

Louisiana doesn’t see hail very frequently, but when it does, it may cause extensive damage to our property, including damage to our cars, roofs, and other kinds of property. Our Baton Rouge lawyers are ready to defend clients whose hail insurance claims are rejected or inadequately compensated.
