As Hurricane Harvey’s low pressure system descended on the Gulf Coast, it blew just east of Corpus Christi and proceeded to ravage the Port Aransas region, dumping around four feet of rain on the coast. It is estimated that the wreckage left behind by Harvey most likely amounts to billions of dollars in damages and loss. In fact, some analysts believe that the cost of Harvey repairs for Texas and the surrounding region could add up to more than $40 billion. If this is true, Harvey would become one of the most expensive and devastating natural disasters in modern United States history.
Unfortunately, regardless of extent of damage, most Texas homeowner’s insurance policies do not include coverage in the case of flooding and water damage brought on by a natural disaster. Approximately 80% of properties are uninsured for flooding in Texas. Whereas most auto insurance claims include coverage for instances of natural disaster like Hurricane Harvey, building and home policies typically do not, even in towns like Port Aransas that were ravaged by Harvey.
If you are one of the thousands of businesses affected by hurricane business damage in Port Aransas in the form of flooding, water, wind, or other loss and brought on by Hurricane Harvey, you have options, and you deserve to know them.
After a hurricane, it often takes days for businesses to function well enough to return to regular operations, and these are the lucky ones. Countless owners of such properties now find themselves without insurance coverage. In cases of repair and assessment, it may be days or weeks before an insurance adjuster can make it out to the property to examine the damages for your claim.
These days of lost financial and transactional activity leave many business owners feeling helpless and lost, and further unable to recover quickly and effectively from a hurricane of Harvey’s magnitude. If you or a loved one owns or leases a business property in the Port Aransas area and you suffered loss or damage in Hurricane Harvey, you deserve compensation and a swift return to normalcy and after the storm. Our experienced lawyers will fight at all costs to see your business and financial security restored as soon as possible.
Because of Harvey’s destruction, some businesses have completely lost the ability to operate due to flooding, roof damage, or other structural harm. In the interim, the lost time at work could equate to a lack of generated capital and thus a loss of income and profits. As you attempt to take on the task of rebuilding, financial stability and resilience may prove to be your most crucial assets. Your other most crucial asset may be legal guidance and representation, which will likely maximize your chances of compensation with an insurance company.
