Hail Damage Claim Lawyer in El Paso, Texas

Submitting A Claim To Your Insurance Company

Insurance companies commonly receive hailstorm-related claims such as roof or A/C replacement, water damage, or removal of debris. If hail has damaged your property, it's essential that you contact your insurance company as soon as possible. Be sure to take photos of all damage to submit to your insurer. The insurance company must notify you within 15 days after you file a claim to let you know whether they will accept or deny the claim or why they need additional time to consider it. If the company accepts your claim, they must send you your claim check within 5 days.

Each individual insurance policy specifies the time limit with which you must comply in order to file your claim. Under Texas law, you need to comply with the time limit or risk losing your right to a claim. An insurance company's deadline for filing a claim is usually determined for each individual case and is contained in your policy, which is, in effect, a legal contract.

Don't Let Insurance Companies Underpay or Deny Your Valid Claim

Unfortunately, insurance companies may unrightfully deny claims to or underpay home owners whose property suffered hail damage. Often, insurers will create excuses for denying valid claims. They may argue the damage was pre-existing or due to poor construction or property maintenance. They might also claim that the property does not need to be repaired nor replaced. You pay high premiums to insure your property. Why let the insurance company "bully" you and deny your rightful claim? This is where a knowledgeable and experienced law firm can help.

We've helped clients stand up to aggressive insurance companies and ultimately receive their rightful claims for their hail-damaged property.
