Property Damage and Business Interruption Claims – What to do Before and After Hurricane Laura

Lewis, Kullman, Sterbcow & Abramson, LLC is helping clients with disaster insurance claims related to Hurricane Laura.

Here’s what you need to do before and after the storm:

  • Document your property before and after the damage. 
    • Take pictures and videos of the exterior and interior of your property before and after the storm. Every item matters!

 

  • Do NOT submit a contractor’s bid to your insurance company!
    • Contractor bids may be unreliable before work starts and may be used against you during the claims process.

 

  • If you have PROPERTY DAMAGE, if you have BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY.
    • Mistakes made in the beginning of the claims process may turn into a legal battle later and cost you $$$. When we handle your claim from day one, we can prevent common mistakes, roadblocks and make sure that you are paid as much as possible.

 

  • Understand your policy coverages. 
    • Insurance policies can be pages long, with forms and endorsements that change every year. Extra coverage may be available if you know where to look. We know where to look!

 

  • Experience negotiating with insurance companies matters! Do NOT rely on anyone but a qualified attorney for advice regarding your claim. 
    • Your insurance policy is a legal contract. Do not rely on anyone but a qualified attorney for advice on your claim!
