A Business-First Approach To The Practice Of Law

Flood Insurance Claim Lawyers Working To Obtain Just Compensation

When your home or business is overcome by water, the damages can be overwhelming. Water can cause serious damage to property and promote the growth of toxic mold that renders the premises unusable. When water seeps into a residence or another structure, it can damage carpeting or other floorings, furniture, drywall and even the underlying structure itself. As a result, your first inclination after your property has sustained flood damage is to contact your insurance company and file a claim for property damage.

Unfortunately, making a claim for flood damages is not always as easy it might seem. Insurance policies routinely cover water damage but often exempt flood damage from coverage. Accordingly, some property owners purchase separate flood insurance policies, particularly in areas known to be prone to flooding. These policies, however, define “flooding” as a very narrow occurrence that does not include all types of water damage. Therefore, you may have a hard time filing a successful claim for damages caused by flooding under a standard property insurance policy or even under a specialized flood insurance policy. This strict legal definition of “flooding” can be difficult to determine, and, given the severity of the damages that can occur as a result of water, insurance companies may be reluctant to pay out any claims that you may make.
