HURRICANE HANNA INSURANCE CLAIMS

10 months after Hurricane Hanna made landfall in the Rio Grande Valley, many residents still have not had their storm damage insurance claims resolved.

“Unfortunately, this happens every single time there’s a major storm event in Texas. Homeowners file their insurance claims believing that their insurance carrier is going to treat them fairly, and the fact remains that a lot of them either get unfairly denied or low-balled into accepting pennies on the dollar,” said McAllen insurance attorney Michael Moore of Moore Law Firm.

“It’s fraud in broad daylight and completely illegal,” continued Moore, who currently represents over 500 Valley residents for their Hurricane Hanna claims.

Hurricane Hanna made landfall on July 25, 2020, as a category 1 hurricane with sustained wind speeds of up to 90 mph. It’s estimated that Hurricane Hanna caused approximately $1.2 billion in damage throughout the Rio Grande Valley and parts of deep south Texas.

For most residents who filed their Hurricane Hanna insurance claims, it’s likely that they fall under one of two scenarios:

1 – Their claim was DENIED because the insurance company didn’t find any damages related to Hurricane Hanna or their damages didn’t meet their deductible.

2 – They were severely UNDERPAID and given a small check for their repairs.

What To Do If Your Hurricane Hanna Claim Was Denied

1. Gather Your Claim Documents

It’s imperative that you track down and gather up every possible document you have regarding your Hurricane Hanna claim. Documents such as letters you received from your insurance carrier, emails you received and sent, any photographs or documents you may have submitted as part of your claim as well as a copy of your insurance policy.

2. Call An Experienced Insurance Claim Lawyer For a 2nd Opinion

Do not hesitate to involve an insurance claim attorney for your Hurricane Hanna claim. Getting a lawyer involved sooner rather than later is always preferred, however, an attorney can still review whether your Hurrican Hanna claim was adjusted fairly.
