Wind Damage Claims
Severe storms and high winds can cause significant damage to properties, including roof damage, broken windows from flying debris, and fallen trees impacting structures. Homeowners rely on their insurance policies to cover such wind-related damages.
However, it’s not uncommon for some unethical insurance companies to deny these claims, leaving homeowners to bear the financial burden. At Gustin Law, we specialize in challenging wrongful homeowners insurance claim denials, ensuring you receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
Common Reasons for Wind Damage Claim Denials
Insurance companies may deny wind damage claims for various reasons, including:
Insurers might assert that the damage falls under exclusions in your policy, such as pre-existing conditions or lack of maintenance.
Claims can be denied, often early in the claims process if the insurance adjuster believes there’s inadequate evidence of the damage or its cause.
Failing to report damage promptly can lead insurers to deny claims, citing policy requirements for timely notification.
Insurers may argue that the damage was due to factors other than wind, such as wear and tear or construction defects.
