Richard Voorhies Your Hurricane Claim Attorney

Know your rights when it comes to your hurricane claim; dont let the insurance carriers take advantage of your ignorance.  Call or email Richard Voorhies, your hurricane lawyer, for a free consultation concerning any questions that you might have about your hurricane property damage claim.  If you are a victim of hurricane damage in the state of Louisiana and feel that you have been underpaid or wrongfully denied coverage on your property damage claim, call Richard today for a free case evaluation. 

Dont let the insurance company mis-adjust your hurricane claim; you should not rely exclusively on their appraiser's adjustment of your property damage.  You have the right to an independent appraisal to assess the value of your property damage, regardless of whether you have already received payment on your hurricane claim.  Unfortunately, many insureds don't realize that even after payment for property damage has been issued by the insurance carrier under a homeowners insurance policy, they may still be entitled to additional compensation pursuant to the terms of their of their particular insurance policy.  Let Richard Voorhies, Attorney at Law, review and evaluate your hurricane claim at no cost, and gain peace of mind regarding your legal rights! 

Also, it is important for you to review and understand the different types of coverage offered under your particular homeowners insurance policy.  Depending on your policy, you may be entitled to reimbursement for your additional living expenses (ALE coverage) and/or any monies expended as a result of your loss of use of the property caused by hurricane or other storm damage.  In addition, you may be entitled to full replacement value for your damaged property, with no depreciation cost assessed depending on the terms of your particular homeowners policy.

Finally, with regard to hurricane damage claims there is a limited amount of time within which to act.  In most cases, hurricane damage claims must be brought within two year of the date of the storm damage.  So, for example, the filing deadline for property damage claims caused by Hurricane Gustav would be two years after that storm struck or, in most areas of Louisiana, including Baton Rouge, no later than September 1, 2009.  But again, it is important that you consult an attorney about your specific claim and that you do not rely exclusively on this information, as it may vary on a case-by-case basis.
