We Know How Hard Hail Damage Can Hit

Hail can be far more destructive than many people might think. Often, people don’t recognize the severity of hail damage until it has already happened to their property. These damages can be incredibly costly to repair, yet insurance companies will do everything they can to avoid paying you for your losses. That’s why our team will make your case our top priority to ensure sure you receive the settlement you deserve to rebuild after a powerful hail storm.

We Have Collected Over$950 Million for Policyholders

Through our team’s concentrated efforts, we have collected in excess of $950 million for policyholders from insurance companies that would otherwise keep the money for themselves. Our team is equipped with in-depth knowledge of the insurance industry, and we have the experience necessary to put that knowledge to work for your hail damage claim.

Don’t Depend on Insurance Adjusters

Insurance adjusters don’t always have your best interests in mind. To get the most out of your claim, you’ll need a comprehensive damage assessment done to your property in the wake of hail damage. Long & Long can take care of that assessment for you, and we’ll push back against insurance companies should they try to deny you the full compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hail damage claims must be filed in a timely manner just like every other kind of insurance claim. The specific timeline will vary from policy to policy, but filing too late could invalidate your claim. Be sure to investigate your property after a hailstorm to catch any damage.

While most hailstones aren’t even half an inch in diameter, some as large as 6 inches can fall on your property. With hailstones that large, you could be looking at serious damage like broken windows. Your home’s roof is the most vulnerable to hail damage.

Given the fact that hail damage will primarily affect your roof, opting for impact-resistant shingles is your best bet for protection. In fact, it’s not uncommon for insurance companies to offer discounts to policyholders with stormproof roofs.

At Long & Long, we work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you won’t be charged a dime until we win your case.

Common Hail Damage Claims Denied by Insurance Companies

Insurance companies always strive to save as much money as possible. Roof replacements can be costly, which is why insurers tend to opt for roof repairs instead. Your claim for a roof replacement may be denied in favor of shingle replacements even if the damage really does warrant a full replacement.

Given the fact that hail is frozen water, it’s not uncommon for there to be water damage as well as damage from the hail’s impact. While homeowners insurance often covers this kind of water damage, it may be under a separate policy. Unless you’re able to claim the damage under its specific policy, you could be dealing with delays and even outright denials.

Insurance companies will blame whatever they can on wear and tear. They’re not responsible for covering damage caused by lack of maintenance, so if they can get away with claiming that your roof was already unstable, they will. That’s why you need a hail damage insurance claims attorney to conduct a proper assessment
