How To Get Your Insurance Company To Pay For
Storm And Roof Leak Damage
Water damage claims can be some of the most
complex insurance claims you will file. Your
insurance company might not believe that your
leak came from faulty roofing or a burst
pipe. They might argue that they do not need to
pay very much on the claim because of a variety
of factors. In fact, the insurance company might
argue that you are to blame for the damage that
has occurred in your home. When you encounter an
insurance company that does not treat you very
well, and you must hire an attorney to argue
your case.
Where Did The Leak Come From?
Roof leak insurance claims, storm damage claims,
and even plumbing malfunction claims could be
filed when your home is damaged by an onslaught
of water. Sometimes, the water comes from your
own pipes, or you notice mold from a tiny leak
that was
2
hidden in the past. Storm damage could cause
leaks from your roof, or you might have water
flooding your basement because of heavy rain.
Your attorney must know the cause of the leak,
and this information will form the basis of the
case. Review Your Policy You cannot review your
own policy. These documents are filled with
complicated language that can be very hard for
you to interpret on your own. Not all insurance
policies are written legally, and your lawyer
may find that your policy is not lawful. If the
policy has loopholes that have been used by the
insurance to avoid payment, your lawyer will
argue that the spirit of the policy has been
ignored. Your lawyer might argue that your policy
is unreasonable, or they may find that the
procedures laid out in the policy were not
followed. Every step of this process will reveal
what the insurance company has done to avoid
paying you. The insurance company has several
lawyers who will go to court if needed to avoid
making a payment on your claim, but they cannot
argue with the facts your lawyer has
collected. Allow Your Lawyer To Speak On Your
Behalf Customers often think that they can argue
with an insurance company because of perceived
or real neglect. However, the insurance company
can ignore everything you say because they know
you cannot take them to court on your own. When
you hire a lawyer who speaks for you, the
insurance company must listen. Your lawyer can
not guarantee a satisfactory outcome, but they
3
can begin negotiations with your insurance
company on a resolution that satisfies both
parties. What Are You Asking For? You are asking
that your insurance company abide by the rules of
the policy that you believe were in-force when
you signed the policy. Again, your lawyer is
arguing the posit of the policy. Payment for all
the repairs that you need could be more than
enough to close the case. However, you must be
careful of illness or disease in your family
because an insurance company has not paid for the
necessary repairs after a water leak. Mold and
mildew can be very dangerous, and your family
could get very sick. If the insurance has caused
members of your family harm, you may sue for
damages. Ask your lawyer how to calculate the
amount of money that you should request, do not
send this information to the insurance company
yourself, and do not contact the insurance
company. The insurance company may settle with
you out of court, or they will go to court to
protect their interests. An insurance claim
lawyer is often the only person who can help you
when your insurance company neglects you and your
family. It is best to contact an insurance
litigation practice as soon as you can. Source
