If you have a homeowners’ policy but didn’t purchase an additional plan from the National Flood Insurance Program, in most cases, your flood damage isn’t covered. No matter what your insurance company tells you, here are just a few ways we can fight to help you get the most money you’re rightfully owed:
After Hurricane Harvey battered Texas, many residents whose homes and businesses survived the torrential rainfall felt relief. But around 2:30 a.m. on August 28, 2017, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began controlled water releases at the Addicks and Barker reservoirs. According to Harris County Flood Control District officials, this was the only way to avoid more catastrophic damage as water threatened to spill over both dams for the first time in history.
As a result, at least 3,000 structures located south of both reservoirs and throughout the Buffalo Bayou watershed sustained flood damage. Texas law states that any property owner whose loss occurred as a direct result of the federal government’s controlled water-release action can seek financial compensation by filing an inverse condemnation claim.
Floridians whose property is similarly affected may also file inverse condemnation claims for damages incurred in the wake of Hurricane Irma.
Even if you don’t have flood insurance, we can negotiate with your insurer on your behalf to ensure you’re properly compensated for your loss. And if the federal government’s actions directly caused floodwater damage to your home, business or other commercial property, we can help you get the justice and compensation you deserve.
