Hailstorm Claims
Hailstorms are a frequent and severe weather event in Houston and the Gulf Coast region, often resulting in significant property damage. In 2024 alone, Houston experienced multiple hailstorms, with hailstones reaching sizes up to 2.75 inches in diameter.
Despite the prevalence of such hail during extreme weather and thunderstorms in Texas, some insurance companies look the other way. Often these unethical insurance companies will automatically issue a claim denial letter or underpay legitimate hail damage claims.
This leaves you and thousands of other Texas homeowners stuck bearing the cost of repairs. At Gustin Law, we are dedicated to holding insurers accountable that avoid paying valid claims and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Common Reasons for Denied or Underpaid Hailstorm Claims
Unethical firms in the insurance industry may employ various tactics to minimize or deny hail damage when filing a claim, including:
Insurers might argue that the damage was present before the hailstorm, attributing it to wear and tear rather than the recent event.
Some policies have specific exclusions or limitations regarding hail damage, which insurers may cite as a valid reason for an insurance claim denial.
Failing to report damage promptly can lead insurers to deny payment, citing policy requirements for timely notification.
Insurance adjusters may claim that there isn’t enough evidence to support the claim, especially if the damage isn’t immediately visible.
