Hurricane Lawyers: Water Damage, Flood Victims

Hurricane damage and flood damage often go hand in hand. However, if you are reading this, you probably already know that your homeowner’s policy does not cover flood damage. However, and this is very important, what does and does not constitute “flood” is subject to a very narrow definition, and there are many exceptions.

There are two issues that come up when you suffer from a combination of hurricane and flood damage. If you do not carry flood insurance, we must determine whether the hurricane damage is the main cause of your loss, or whether the main cause of your loss is flood damage.

If you carry both hurricane and flood insurance, we often see a problem you would not expect. Often the hurricane insurer will refuse to pay and claim that the damage is due to flood, while the flood insurer will refuse to pay and claim that the damage is due to hurricane. Even when you do the right thing there can be problems. Rest assured, The Nation Law Firm have helped people successfully overcome these problems.

While hurricane claims are governed by state law, flood claims are governed by federal laws. There are many issues involved. If you are the victim of flood damage, you need an experienced attorney who is experienced in presenting flood claims.
