We Help Clients Nationwide With Hurricane Property Damage
Hurricane destruction isn’t limited to a single type of loss. From total roof failure to interior water damage, every aspect of your claim matters. Our firm represents property owners in all types of hurricane-related disputes, including:
- Residential and commercial property damage
- Roof, siding, and window damage

No matter where your property is located—along the Gulf Coast, Atlantic seaboard, or inland areas impacted by hurricane remnants—our legal team has the experience and national reach to help you recover what you’re owed.
Why Hurricane Damage Claims Are Often Undervalued
Insurance companies routinely undervalue hurricane claims. Their primary goal is protecting profits, not rebuilding your life. Property owners frequently encounter tactics such as:
- Lowball Offers: Insurers may rush to make a quick settlement that covers only a fraction of the true cost of repairs.
- Blame Shifting: They may argue your damage was “pre-existing” or due to wear and tear instead of the hurricane.
- Partial Coverage Denials: Many companies claim portions of the damage fall under exclusions for flooding or other causes.
- Delay Tactics: Adjusters may request endless documentation, hoping you’ll give up or accept less.
- Use of Biased Experts: Insurers often hire their own engineers or contractors who minimize loss values.
Without legal guidance, property owners can unknowingly forfeit hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars. Broussard Dove levels the playing field. We conduct independent inspections, work with unbiased experts, and challenge every undervalued estimate to ensure your recovery reflects your true loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of damages are typically covered under my policy?
Most insurance policies cover: wind and hail, fire and smoke, water damage (not flooding), theft or vandalism, lightening or fallen trees.
What is typically excluded in my policy?
Flooding (a separate flood policy is required), earthquakes, wear and tear, and neglect.
What documents do I need to support my claim?
Pictures and videos of the damage, repair estimates, receipts for emergency services and repairs, and communications with your insurance adjuster.
What’s the difference between actual cash value (ACV) and replacement costs (RCV)?
A policy typically provides the initial payments will be made on an ACV basis; meaning the costs to replace the damaged item is paid minus depreciation. RCV pays the full cost to replace the damaged item without a deduction for depreciation.
How do I get paid RCV?
If you have an RCV policy, once you receive the ACV funds and replace the damaged item, you can seek reimbursement for the recoverable depreciation withheld once you submit proof of replacement and the costs exceed the ACV funds received.
