Common Insurance Tactics in Wind and Hailstorm Damage Claims

These are some of the most common methods insurers  may use to deny or undervalue your claim: 

Claiming the Damage Is Wear and Tear

One of the most common excuses insurers use is to argue that the damage predated the storm and is the result of normal wear and tear. This tactic often appears when evidence of roof or siding damage is involved, as these areas naturally face weathering over time. 

It’s a good idea for homeowners to keep documentation of their property before major storms hit. Our lawyers can use dated photos to illustrate the damage caused by the wind and hail. We can also bring in a public adjuster to help assess the damage and counter any claims of preexisting issues. 

Lowballing Your Settlement Offer

Some insurance companies may acknowledge that wind or hail caused the damage but then offer an unreasonably low settlement. This might be done in the hope that you’ll accept the payout quickly to avoid a prolonged claims process.

Delaying the Claims Process

Time is of the essence when dealing with storm damage, but insurers sometimes use delays to frustrate homeowners into settling for less or giving up entirely. Insurers may request repeated documentation, fail to return calls, or claim they’re overwhelmed with other claims from the storm. While some delays may be legitimate, intentional stalling constitutes bad faith.

Keep detailed records of every interaction with your insurance company, including emails, calls, and correspondence. The sooner you involve our office, the quicker we can relieve you of this burden. 

Denying Claims Due to Missed Deadlines or Paperwork Errors

Insurance claims can involve a maze of paperwork and strict deadlines, and insurers may deny claims outright if they find even minor errors or if submissions are delayed.

Act quickly after a storm to file your claim and follow the process religiously. Keep copies of all forms, receipts, and communications. The help of our experienced attorneys and dedicated legal team can be uniquely valuable in ensuring your paperwork is filed properly and deadlines are met.
