Has an Insurance Company Denied Your Weather-Related Claim?

The Dallas–Fort Worth area regularly faces some of the nation’s most severe weather, including hurricanes, hailstorms, and powerful wind gusts that often topple trees. Unfortunately, many insurance adjusters respond to storm damage by disputing claims or offering payouts so low that homeowners are left covering thousands of dollars in repairs. That’s why you need an experienced Texas denial-of-insurance attorney to stand up to your insurer and secure the settlement you deserve!

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Why Would an Insurance Company Deny a Claim?

Insurance companies are businesses, meaning that they have to turn a profit just like everyone else. Every time a company pays out a weather-related settlement, that impacts its bottom line—which puts the onus on its adjusters to reflexively deny or minimize, rather than grant, claims filed by homeowners and business owners. The insurance company may:

  • Seize on a technical error in your insurance application to deny your claim (say, you accidentally transposed two numbers in your street address on one part of the document).

  • Insist that the damage you reported was not caused by a weather event, but by your own faulty maintenance or upkeep, or by an accident not covered under your policy.

  • Accept that some, but not all, of the damage was caused by the weather event, allowing the company to cut its payout in half while leaving you holding the bag for the rest of the repairs.

  • Run you through so much red tape (repeated site visits, requests for documentation, etc.) that you simply give up and pay out of your own pocket.

  • Simply refuse to pay your claim, “just because,” usually because there is some kind of financial malfeasance occurring at the company and it simply doesn't have the available funds.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Why Would an Insurance Company Deny a Claim?

Insurance companies are businesses, and like any other, they aim to protect their bottom line. Every weather-related payout impacts their profits, which often leads adjusters to deny or minimize claims instead of approving them. The insurance company may:

  • Exploit a minor technical error in your insurance application, such as accidentally transposing numbers in your address, to deny your claim.

  • Claim that the damage you reported wasn’t caused by a weather event but by your own lack of maintenance, upkeep, or an uncovered accident.

  • Acknowledge that only part of the damage was caused by the weather, reducing their payout while leaving you to cover the rest of the repairs.

  • Overwhelm you with red tape—repeated site visits, excessive requests for documentation, and delays—until you give up and cover the costs yourself.

  • Flat-out refuse to pay your claim without a valid reason, often because of internal financial issues at the company, leaving them unable to honor their obligations.
