Dothan, Alabama Lawyer On Storm Damage and Your Insurance Company
Our thoughts and prayers are with those that were impacted by the recent tornadoes and storms. In particular, our neighbors here in Alabama since we have the opportunity to help them directly and to witness first-hand the devastation that some parts of our state have suffered. Our hearts go out to everyone. In some way, we are all affected.
There are many potential legal issues people face in the aftermath of a storm. I want to caution people in dealing with their insurance companies regarding property damage claims for storm related damages. Sometimes the insurance company adjuster will use tactics like devaluing an insured’s property or claim that the property is subject to some type of reduction. In some situations, the insurance company adjuster will just deny the claim. These are just some of the ways people can be taken advantage of by their own insurance company. It is important to know what your insurance covers and what is not covered. Insurance contracts are often complex and difficult to read and understand. Therefore, it is wise to review your coverage with an insurance agent that you trust. It is also important to immediately seek legal advice from an experienced Dothan Alabama Lawyer if you believe your insurance company is trying to take advantage of you.
