My wife and I thought we were heading into a complicated legal odyssey with a destroyed commercial property until we hired Bill Kendall. His sustained focus and hard work was so effective that we had a great settlement within hours of the first deposition.

Our large hotel was severely damaged by hail. After significant delays by the insurance company, our claim was denied. We hired Bill Kendall and Grisham & Kendall soon after. Through Bill’s efforts during our lawsuit, we were able to reach a favorable settlement close to trial. We would certainly recommend Grisham & Kendall, PLLC to any property owner whose insurance company isn’t treating them fairly.

Insurance law can be deeply confusing for those not well-versed in it. After a destructive event in your home, such as a fireflood, or theft, you are likely overwhelmed trying to replace necessary items or find a new place to live. Trying to fight with your insurance company on top of this is a recipe for disaster. Instead, let an experienced insurance law attorney handle your dispute for you. They can make sense of all the fine print in your insurance policy and compare it to the losses from the disaster to determine what you should have been offered. They are familiar with the tricks insurance adjusters play to underpay, and they won’t stand for them. To ensure that you get the maximum possible compensation, you need an insurance law attorney on your side.

What is an All-Risk Policy?

An all-risk renter’s insurance policy, also known as a comprehensive policy, will pay to replace items damaged in a rented home or apartment pretty much regardless of why they were destroyed. This is as opposed to a named perils policy, which lists the specific events that must have occurred for the insurance company to pay for the damage. Because all-risk policies cover almost anything, they tend to be more expensive.

Exclusions in All-Risk Policies

Despite its name, an all-risk policy does not cover all risks. Every policy has a list of exclusions or events that your policy will not cover. These vary from policy to policy, but common exclusions include earthquakes, war, nuclear events, smog, and other “freak” accidents. Grisham & Kendall, PLLC can examine your policy to help you determine what your exclusions are.

Help for Delayed/Underpaid/Denied Claims

There are many reasons that you might not have received the result that you wanted from your insurance claim. It’s possible that the event that caused your property damage was listed as an exclusion in your policy, meaning that you cannot recover for it. However, it is also possible that your insurance company intentionally tried to minimize or deny your claim. Many people who don’t know better will accept a lowball offer merely because they think that it is the best they can get. Insurance companies know that many people will not try to contest a low offer, and so they intentionally offer you as little as possible. If you think this is the case, a lawyer from Grisham & Kendall, PLLC can help you negotiate a better offer.
