Hurricane & Flood Damage Claims
Undefeated Texas Hurricane & Flood Damage Lawyers
Our Hurricane and Flood Property Damage Lawyers have won Billions and represented thousands of Texans who lost their homes and businesses as a result of the tremendous wind and water damage caused by Hurricanes, Floods and other catastrophic storms.
The first thing we do when we’re hired in a case is send our team of experts, including Public Adjusters and former insurance appraisers, to immediately conduct an extensive, independent appraisal of the damaged property in order to demonstrate that the insurance company has substantially undervalued or improperly denied our client’s claim.
What distinguishes our Hurricane and Flood Damage Attorneys from other law firms is that, even though many of our cases are successfully resolved before trial, if the insurance company refuses to offer a settlement that fully compensates our clients for their losses, they know we won’t hesitate to take the case to trial, where our trial lawyers remain undefeated.

The Insurance Company’s Duty to their Insureds
As a policyholder, you’re owed a Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing from your insurance company. This duty requires your insurance carrier to act in good faith in when evaluating, processing and valuing your claim. Under the Texas Insurance Code, your insurance carrier can be subject to interest, penalties and additional damages in the event that they improperly delay, deny or underpay your claim.
In order to get your insurance carrier to timely pay the full repair or replacement cost of your property, however, you’re going to need the help of an Experienced Hurricane Damage and Insurance Dispute Lawyer.
Our Undefeated Hurricane & Flood Damage Lawyers have the experience and resources to ensure that you’re fully compensated for all your property damages, that you receive additional damages for the wrongful refusal or underpayment of your claim, and to make your insurance carrier expedite your claim as quickly as possible.
What does a Typical Texas Homeowners’ Policy Cover?
Most standard homeowners’ policies in Texas will cover:
- Home: Any structural damage to the home and adjacent structures like a garage, a fence, etc.
- Personal Property: theft of or damage to personal belongings within the home.
- Uninhabitability: Any living expenses resulting from loss of use of the home due to damage.
- Mold: Most mold damage, as long as the mold is the result of a covered loss under the policy.
