Wright National Flood Insurance Company Claim Denials in Texas
If you have been through a hurricane the very last thing you need is your insurance company refusing to pay what your claim is worth, or even worse, denying your claim altogether. Unfortunately, this is a common scenario, and a Wright National flood claim denial can feel like the last straw. Insurance companies (despite the warm and fuzzy television commercials they generate) are interested in one thing: their financial bottom line. To ensure a healthy balance sheet, they are masters of delay and deny tactics. Having your home damaged or destroyed by a hurricane is traumatic enough in and of itself. Then to have your insurance company do anything they can to avoid paying your claim is adding insult to injury. If you find yourself in this position, there is help.

Wright National Insurance Bad Faith Practices
The term “bad-faith” describes any type of dishonest dealing on the part of an insurer. Bad faith could be an untrustworthy performance of duty, neglect of fair dealing standards, or simply fraudulent intent depending on the circumstances. In simpler terms, if Wright National—or any flood insurance company—looks for evidence that supports their basis for denying your claim while ignoring evidence that supports your claim, then the company is likely guilty of bad faith. Insurance companies must act reasonably when denying a claim under the coverage you have on your home. Bad faith actions can include:
- Unreasonable delays in settling a claim
- Unjustified delays in providing payment to the insured
- Unreasonable attempts to “shortchange” the insured or avoid full payment
- Deliberate misrepresentations of the policy content to avoid paying a claim
When an insurance company acts in bad faith, you have a legal avenue to obtain relief from the damages you suffered due to that bad faith behavior. Gulf Coast Insurance Attorneys, knows every legal avenue available and will work hard on your behalf to ensure your company pays you what your claim is worth promptly.

Wright National Flood Claim Denial and Why Insurance Adjusters Deny Claims
Insurance adjusters have legitimate—and less legitimate—reasons for denying a flood insurance claim. The obvious reasons would be that the insured failed to file the claim within the time allowed or failed to pay their premiums. The insurance company may believe you made false statements on your original application for coverage or that your current claim has questionable information. Insurance companies may deny a claim due to insufficient documentation of the damage, so it is crucial that you thoroughly document the damage to your home. It is also crucial that you read through your insurance policy—preferably before you need it—so you will know whether there are exclusions in your policy. Finally, insurance companies like to deny claims by saying you failed to protect your property from further damage following the hurricane to mitigate the loss. For example, if the hurricane took a portion of your roof off, it will be your responsibility to get that portion covered as quickly as possible to avoid further water damage in your home.
