This is the way it goes in a perfect world: You paid your insurance premiums. Ike came and damaged your property. You lost money after it closed your business for a time. You called your insurance company and got reimbursed. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been like this for some. Their stories vary. But three themes stand out: Claim denied. Claim delayed. Claim underpaid.
The best way to deal with that scenario is to hire a lawyer with 30 years experience in insurance company “tactics.” Namely, Jim Adler. The Texas Hammer has added hurricane property damage to his roster of services for victims who have been damaged in accidents. While some insurance companies do operate like the “dream world” we describe, others don’t. Since the hurricane, Jim S. Adler & Associates has received calls from hurricane victims who paid their premiums but are having trouble getting paid by insurance companies who took their money, sometimes for years, and now are balking at their claims. Case evaluations at Jim S. Adler & Associates are free. Clients pay nothing to their lawyers until claims are settled and sometimes they pay nothing at all because judges will order their insurance companies to pay all legal fees.
