Hurricane & Insurance Claims

New Orleans Hurricane Insurance Litigation Attorneys

When Hurricanes Katrina and Rita destroyed much of the Gulf Coast region in the summer of 2005, thousands of people were suddenly facing severe property damage and homelessness. Worse yet, their claims for payment from their insurance company were denied, delayed, or altogether ignored.

The personal injury law firm of Howard & Reed has earned national recognition for leading the way in insurance litigation on behalf of hurricane victims throughout Louisiana.

Our experienced trial lawyers are ready to help you assess your insurance coverage and seek full and fair compensation under your policy, either in an individual lawsuit, or as part of a class action suit against your insurer for their bad faith insurance practices. Contact us today for a consultation.

Unfortunately, Louisiana insurance companies are notorious for placing ambiguous language within their benefit coverage contracts and for placing important coverage information in the fine print.

All too often, there are provisions regarding flood exclusion that the homeowner does not understand or realize it is there. Our attorneys examine your policy and determine what coverage is available and evaluate if the insurance company has wrongfully denied your claim.

We handle breach of contract and hurricane insurance bad faith claims involving:

• Failure to pay legitimate claims
• Failure to pay according to policy benefits
• Failure to fully investigate claims before denying claims
• Failure to provide full benefits
• Deceptive practices of denying due to ambiguous language
• Other hurricane insurance litigation

Hurricane insurance provisions may allow for payment for damage to your roof or vehicles, replacement for damaged property, reimbursement for expenses incurred for food and shelter following the hurricane, and other costs. Our lawyers determine what benefits you are entitled and maximize your financial recovery.

Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your hurricane insurance dispute. We can help you fight for justice and seek the benefits you may be entitled to.
