Practical issues when tornadoes damage a home or property
Insurance disputes and advice are more than just arguing which policy applies and how much money you should ultimately receive. There are a lot of practical matters that can help validate your claim and minimize further damage. Odds are a tornado damaged many homes in a community. Your damage needs to be coordinated by federal and state agencies so that road access, utility damage, and other common issues can be addressed.
Why you want Warhurst Law to represent you after a tornado
Our lawyers explain when and how to document your damages through photographs, videos, and written reports. We explain (or have the professionals we work with explain) practical matters such as turning off utilities if they pose a safety risk, protecting the structure with a tarp or boarding it up, and removing wet items to a dry part of the house.
At Warhurst Law, attorney Gene Warhurst is able to negotiate strong settlements because of his unique understanding of the insurance claims process. In addition to advising clients about their legal rights for nearly 25 years, he also worked as a claims adjuster. By understanding how a claims adjuster approaches policy and damage issues combined with understanding the legal issues, Gene can cut through a lot of the red tape. His knowledge of both sides of the claims process also means he can anticipate and counter many of the tricks and methods insurance companies use to try to avoid paying you what you deserve.
