Storm Damage Claims Attorneys in Dallas & Houston

After a storm, contact your insurance company about any damage. The insurance company will send an adjuster to inspect the damage, typically the roof and exterior of your home. The adjuster will then catalogue the damage and submit it to the insurance company for evaluation. The insurance company will then get back to you detailing what and how they will pay you, which will depend on your homeowners policy.

Yes, all homeowners policies cover some storm damage, including fallen and broken trees, lightning and power surges, wind damage, hail damage, and water and ice damage. 

Homeowners insurance policies typically cover storm damage such as:

• – Water and Ice Damage.
• – Lightning Strikes and Power Surges.
• – Wind, Hail and Fallen Trees.

Homeowner’s policies usually cover financial loss caused by storm damage. Sometimes, just rain, hail, or snow constitutes a storm.  Any bad weather could potentially damage property.

Storm damage is typically covered by your home insurance, provided your insurer is satisfied you’ve maintained your home to a reasonable standard.

Yes, your homeowners insurance should cover any necessary roof repairs or replacement after storm damage. However, they will need to be satisfied that the roof was in good condition prior to the storm and was properly installed. 

When a severe storm blows through, it can bring with it heavy rain, flooding, high winds, lightning, hail, and even tornadoes. All of these have the potential to cause significant damage to homes and commercial buildings. The costs of repairs to commercial buildings in particular are likely to be substantial due to the high concentration of glass used in these structures. Without the full and timely payment of insurance benefits, rebuilding and repairing can be prohibitively expensive.

The damage that storms can inflict on buildings will vary depending on the type and severity of the storm. The following are some of the potential kinds of damage that different storms can cause:

 – Cracked or shattered windows
 – Roof damage from hail
 – Damage from falling branches or trees
 – Water damage from flooding
 – Structural destabilization due to tornadoes

Without the help of a reliable insurance company, paying for these damages can be difficult and most likely impossible, especially in the event of severe damage from a tornado.
