Will My Homeowner’s Insurance Cover Hurricane Damage?
Homeowner’s insurance is designed to cover the cost to rebuild or repair your home and property and replace personal belongings. Written into your very lengthy and confusing policy is a list of exceptions that will, often, negatively impact your claim.
For example, category 1 hurricanes have speeds of 74 – 95 MPH. If your roof is damaged in the hurricane, it may be covered by your insurance. Exterior elements of the home, such as gutters, outbuildings and fences, are often covered in your insurance policy.
Winds intensify with stronger hurricanes and a portion of the roof is destroyed. Rainwater pours in through the hole and your wood floor is damaged. Depending on your insurance, this damage may not be covered because policies have wording and exclusions that limit coverage to interior damage.
Flooding – which is common in hurricanes – will require flood insurance to be properly covered.
Without the guidance of a Baton Rouge hurricane damage attorney, you’ll be left dealing with insurance adjusters who will:
- Settle claims for as little as possible
- Use exclusions against you

Does an Attorney Make a Difference When Filing Your Hurricane Property Damage Claim?
Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to homes in Baton Rouge. While insurance companies have a responsibility to pay out claims, it’s in their best interest to pay out as little as possible. Many insurers will delay claims or deny them outright.
A Baton Rouge hurricane insurance claim lawyer can make all the difference in your claim.
Even if you haven’t filed your claim yet, consider consulting with an experienced lawyer who can guide you through the process. They can help you understand what to expect and handle negotiations with the insurance company to ensure your claim gets paid in a timely manner.
If your claim has already been denied, there’s still hope. A lawyer will review your claim and explain your options.
You’ve upheld your side of the agreement with your insurance company by paying your premiums on time. Now, it’s their turn to uphold their end of the agreement. If your insurer won’t give you the assistance you need, we can help you get justice and fight to get full payment of your claim.
