Our team understands the complex insurance policies that govern disaster claims. We know how insurers operate — and we know how to hold them accountable.
Why Property Damage Claims Are Often Undervalued
Insurance companies may get overwhelmed after a disaster and are in the business of protecting their bottom line, not necessarily your best interests. After a disaster, they may use tactics like:
- Offering quick, lowball settlements
- Underestimating the full extent of damage
- Arguing that damage is pre-existing or not covered
- Delaying payment to pressure you into accepting less
- Outright denying valid claims
Without experienced legal representation, many property owners unknowingly leave thousands — or even millions — of dollars on the table.
We fight to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.

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.
