Rejected Hurricane Insurance Claims
Rejected Hurricane Insurance Claims
When Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast in September, hundreds of lives were lost and hundreds of thousands of victims were left displaced, destitute, and homeless. Survivors barely had time to regroup before another storm, Hurricane Rita, threatened the area again. The one-two punch of the hurricanes combined to become one of the costliest disasters in the history of the United States.
Many of the victims returned to find widespread confusion about the insurance policies that they believed were their only hope in beginning to rebuild. There is no doubt that purchasing an insurance policy is a complicated and sometimes confusing endeavor. The premiums are expensive and sometimes seem like a waste of money and resources on something that may or may not happen. Most people feel like that until a disaster strikes, and then all the effort to prepare becomes one of the wisest choices and money well spent.
People who expect to receive aid from their insurance company after Hurricane Rita are discovering exactly what they mean to their providers. Many insurance companies are rejecting claims for relief from hurricane damage citing that most damage was done by flooding rather then the storm itself. This narrow interpretation of hurricane policies is leaving millions of people dejected and heartbroken over their futures.
If your insurance rejected your claim on the basis of a narrow reading of your policy and you feel wronged you owe it to yourself to take action. There are millions of other people just like you from Texas to Florida who are facing the same situation.

Rejected Statefarm Insurance Claims

Many people throughout the Gulf Region are now facing rejection by the very insurance companies they relied on for help. This rejection usually stems from insurance companies claiming damage to property was due to flooding rather than by wind and rain caused by the hurricane.

Rejected Allstate Insurance Claims
Allstate Insurance Corporation took in over $33 billion last year in revenues for their auto, home, and business policies, making them one of the largest insurers in America. Many people who paid for these premiums did so in the hope that when they needed help they would be truly in good hands.
Now after the devastation of Hurricane Rita, thousands of policy holders are facing extreme difficulty in collecting on their coverage, due to narrow interpretations of policies that claim flood waters caused by hurricanes are not covered under hurricane insurance.

Rejected Nationwide Insurance Claims
As one would gather from its name, Nationwide Insurance is one of the most diverse insurance companies in the United States. Whether insuring automobiles, homes, businesses, or agriculture, Nationwide evolved from its humble roots in 1926 to become a leading provider of insurance coverage for millions of people. Unfortunately, this trust was broken for many when the company began to reject claims of suffering victims in the Gulf states after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Hurricane insurance is certainly one of the wiser investments for those who live in or around the Gulf coast, but unfortunately when these devastating events occur, narrow interpretations of what constitutes hurricane versus flood damage frustrated and enraged already suffering people. Furthermore, allegations of withholding funds until people sign waivers releasing insurance companies from their obligations violate basic premises of both the law and common decency.
If you are like thousands of other people who have had their legitimate claims rejected by their insurance company you need to take action. Insurance law is extremely complicated and without proper guidance it is unlikely you will ever receive the just compensation you deserve. You paid handsomely for your insurance company to take care of you in your time of need. Make sure that they do. Contact a insurance claim attorney today.
Bad Faith Insurance Lawsuits
Bad Faith is a legal term for a violation of the principle of “good faith and fair dealing” that requires business to provide the proper amount of services to their customers. For example, an insurance company could act in bad faith by refusing to honor a legitimate claim of hurricane damage to your property by citing that the damage was flooding caused by the hurricane, rather than direct wind or rain damage. In this case the insurance company would not have to pay for the claim because wind and rain damage is covered by hurricane insurance whereas flooding is not.
Another tactic used by underhanded and deceitful insurance corporations is the practice of withholding money from policyholders until they sign a waiver stating damage to their property was from flooding rather than the hurricane. This act is widespread throughout the devastated Gulf States, so much so that the office of the Attorney General of the state of Mississippi is suing a number of insurers in order to halt this offensive practice.
If you paid your insurance premiums in good faith, believing that help would be there when you needed it only to discover that your provider abandoned you in your time of need, you are not alone. Join with the thousands of other victims of Hurricans Katrina and Rita and stand up to the insurance companies who are protecting their own self-interests in a time of dire suffering across the south.
