Depending on the extent of your damage and how responsive your insurance company is, the time resolution and compensation takes may vary.

The earlier you file your claim, the faster it can be processed.

To file a commercial or residential property claim for damages in Texas, you need to be prepared and organized. You need to prove your damages by documenting and photographing the damage. Obtain good estimates for repairs. Ensure you receive the full amount you deserve by hiring a good attorney at Grisham & Kendall. We can negotiate the best settlement offer for you.

Residential homeowner’s policies cover a percentage of the cost to repair and replace your belongings and property. They do not cover damage by floods, windstorms, or hail damage unless you have a separate policy. 

To ensure you are fully protected for your commercial property in Texas, make sure you have a policy that provides replacement cost coverage. If you opt for actual cash value coverage it pays replacement cost minus depreciation. This type of coverage may not pay enough to rebuild your business. Our firm has extensive experience representing businesses in cases involving denied or underpaid claims, including business interruption claims. 

Insurance company adjusters will review your property damage and estimate the cost of repairs, minus depreciation and your deductible.

As a customer, you pay your insurance company an agreed-upon premium and assume your insurance company is dependable and will uphold their promise to pay if your property suffers damages. Unfortunately, the trust we place in our insurance providers can be misplaced. If your residential or commercial property has been damaged, we can help you get what you deserve. Some of the damage to property can be caused by the following: 

Hurricanes Ike, Harvey and Rita all presented challenges to Texas residential property cases in Texas. Ambiguous wording in policy coverage was an issue for several property owners who suffered from residential property damage. Windstorm policies were also ambiguous and exclusions in the windstorm policy did not cover the damage.

Other challenges in Texas property damage cases include the need for expert testimony in complex cases, and comparative negligence which means that if more than one party is responsible for the damages, responsibility will be allocated accordingly.

Commercial property damage case challenges include determining who is at fault for the damages such as construction defects, faulty maintenance, or business interruption losses.
