Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge Hurricane Claims Lawyer

Louisiana residents have experienced three of the five costliest hurricanes in history, and they hit in the last 20 years. As a Baton Rouge hurricane insurance claims lawyer, we’ve seen first-hand the destruction that is left behind after a hurricane:

  • Complete loss of homes
  • Vehicles damaged
  • Businesses destroyed
  • Families separated

Since 2005, Gulf Coast Insurance Attorneys has made client satisfaction a top priority. We’ve helped recover $25+ million for 500+ policyholders.

Every dollar counts when trying to rebuild your life.

Insurance companies often try to settle your claim for less than the true value of the damage. Accepting this claim puts your future in jeopardy. We negotiate on your behalf, deal with defense attorneys, and fight for every last dime you’re owed.

Maximizing your recovery won’t erase the damage that the hurricane left behind, but it will help you rebuild your life. Contact our office today for a free consultation and to begin rebuilding your life.

Will My Homeowner’s Insurance Cover Hurricane Damage?

Homeowner’s insurance is designed to cover the cost to rebuild or repair your home and property and replace personal belongings. Written into your very lengthy and confusing policy is a list of exceptions that will, often, negatively impact your claim.

For example, category 1 hurricanes have speeds of 74 – 95 MPH. If your roof is damaged in the hurricane, it may be covered by your insurance. Exterior elements of the home, such as gutters, outbuildings and fences, are often covered in your insurance policy.

Winds intensify with stronger hurricanes and a portion of the roof is destroyed. Rainwater pours in through the hole and your wood floor is damaged. Depending on your insurance, this damage may not be covered because policies have wording and exclusions that limit coverage to interior damage.

Flooding – which is common in hurricanes – will require flood insurance to be properly covered.

Without the guidance of a Baton Rouge hurricane damage attorney, you’ll be left dealing with insurance adjusters who will:

  • Settle claims for as little as possible
  • Use exclusions against you

Does an Attorney Make a Difference When Filing Your Hurricane Property Damage Claim?

Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to homes in Baton Rouge. While insurance companies have a responsibility to pay out claims, it’s in their best interest to pay out as little as possible. Many insurers will delay claims or deny them outright. 

A Baton Rouge hurricane insurance claim lawyer can make all the difference in your claim. 

Even if you haven’t filed your claim yet, consider consulting with an experienced lawyer who can guide you through the process. They can help you understand what to expect and handle negotiations with the insurance company to ensure your claim gets paid in a timely manner.

If your claim has already been denied, there’s still hope. A lawyer will review your claim and explain your options. 

You’ve upheld your side of the agreement with your insurance company by paying your premiums on time. Now, it’s their turn to uphold their end of the agreement. If your insurer won’t give you the assistance you need, we can help you get justice and fight to get full payment of your claim.
