Some of the longest-lasting damage suffered during Hurricane Harvey in Goliad is the structural damage done to homes. From a county-wide perspective, repairing damage done to privately-owned homes can take the longest amount of time and involves the greatest amount of expense. This is because without a place to live, many residents find it difficult to resume their normal lives within the community, like work, errands, and transportation. At Carabin Shaw we understand how dire these circumstances can be, and our attorneys have the expertise to help you and other families in Goliad recover from just such misfortunes.
There is one main aspect of damage repair that our lawyers want you to be aware of before anything else: you are not the only person filing a Goliad Hurricane Harvey home repair claim, and are therefore, not alone with your questions regarding the best way to proceed. In truth, the best method is dependent upon your particular circumstances, but because the various forms and paperwork associated with such claims is standardized, many people miss opportunities to capitalize on the particulars of their situation.
In other words, just because you feel alone and are unsure of how to list the several types of damages you have suffered, our Goliad hurricane insurance claims lawyer understands this process and is willing to review all the details to make your claim as strong as it can be.
The other thing you should know is that Goliad hurricane claims are also susceptible to fraud. Due to the rarity of any homeowner ever having to actually file such a claim, scam artists take advantage of many homeowners’ general misunderstandings of these policies, as well as the additional vulnerability of a storm-stricken community like Goliad, and take this opportunity to file bogus claims using your information.
This can severely impact your claims process, often re-routing your efforts to get compensation through fraud procedures for months. Our attorneys are familiar with these fraud procedures, and they can get the compensation that your Goliad Hurricane Harvey home repair claim is meant to provide back on track.
Unfortunately, even with policies that have been paid in full, filed promptly, and would otherwise be processed without delay, some insurance companies have unwritten policies in place to deny rare types of claims outright for a certain period of time. The idea is that by the time the damage has been done and a majority of Goliad is back to normal, most claimants will give up the pursuit of compensation and accept the new status quo. These are exactly the kinds of situations the lawyers at Carabin Shaw can spot from a mile away, which can save you and your claim valuable time.
In our opinion, no Goliad Hurricane Harvey home repair claim should be submitted without careful review and scrutiny by an experienced lawyer from a respected law firm.
