Hail Damage in Texas

Texas Hail Damage Attorney

Hailstorms are common in Texas and can cause damage to your home and car. In fact, some of the most extensive hail damage in the country is seen in the Lone Star state. Hail season usually begins in March and can go through the summer and into late August. North Texas experiences the greatest number of hailstorms, but those in the Hill Country, and East and West Texas can also experience hailstorms. Hail can begin quickly, and the impact can be significant. Since hail can fall from the sky between 20 and 100 miles per hour, when it comes into contact with a roof, the damage can be extensive. You may experience cracks or splits in shingles, dents in gutters and flashing, and leaks that can damage what is inside your home. Since a damaged roof can cost thousands to repair, insurance companies may drag their feet after a hailstorm claim is filed, may deny the claim outright, or may offer you far less than the actual damage. If this should happen to you, you need an experienced Texas hail damage attorney from the Gulf Coast Insurance Attorneys. We will fight the insurance company on your behalf, ensuring they pay you what your claim is worth in a timely manner.

Overview of Hail Damage in Texas

Following a hailstorm, not only could you have significant damage to your roof, but you could also have damage to outdoor furniture, barbecue grills, sheds, and more. If the damage to your roof is extensive, a replacement roof could cost as much as $10,000 to $20,000. The size of the hailstones will affect the degree of damage; a hailstone can be as small as a pea, or as large as a softball. Since hailstones are rarely perfectly round, the edges can be sharp, impacting the level of damage dealt. Hail can cause pitting and dings in metal roofing, as well as aluminum siding, gutters, and asphalt shingles. Those with wood shake shingles can see cracks after a hailstorm. The age and condition of your roof will also affect the level of damage sustained.

What Steps Should I Take Following Hail Damage to My Property?

Once the storm has passed and you realize you’ve received hail damage to your home, you will file a claim through your insurance company with the goal of having the damage repaired. You will probably work with an insurance adjuster from your company who will inspect the roof and determine what damage was caused by the hailstorm.  If your insurance company acknowledges that the hailstorm did in fact cause the damage to your roof, you will either be offered a check for the Actual Cash Value of your roof or a check for Replacement Cost Value, depending on your policy. Actual Cash Value is the depreciated value of your roof, which is your roof’s current value, while Replacement Cost Value is the cost of a new roof, so RCV is the higher of the two. Following hail damage to your roof, taking the right steps can make a significant difference in the outcome. These steps include:

  • Carefully assess the damage to your roof, as well as to furniture, floors, walls, and other valuables if the hail leads to leaks in the roof. Don’t forget to look for missing shingles, damaged gutters, and any other signs of storm damage. 
  • Take photos to document all damage. 
  • Contact a roofing contractor to get a good idea of the level of damage. 
  • Call your insurance company; if you must make emergency repairs to avoid more damage, make sure you keep all receipts and photograph all the damage and repairs. 
  • If your insurance company is delaying payment, denying payment, or has offered you an amount that won’t fully cover the damage, contact an experienced Texas hail damage attorney from Gulf Coast Insurance Attorneys.
