Strong winds can tear off shingles or cause even more damage, with even relatively minor gusts having the potential to damage roofs.
Storms are one of the leading causes of roof damage, with severe storms causing extensive destruction. Your policy may cover it.
Unpredictable and destructive Texas tornadoes can lead to significant damage to homes and apartment complexes. Your insurance coverage may apply.
Fallen trees, whether due to storms, wind, or age, can cause real damage to roofs, with roof leaks potentially leading to water damage.
Frequent Texas hail storms can cause damage to most parts of a home, including the roof. Property owners may need an attorney’s help to get coverage.
You should consider hiring a roof damage attorney if your insurance company has wrongfully denied your claim, has failed to handle your claim in a timely manner, or has mislead you about what compensation is available for damage and repairs under your policy. Your insurance company may argue that necessary repairs aren’t actually needed, or may claim that the damage is a part of general wear and tear, not covered peril. They may refuse to investigate your claim to avoid paying fair coverage.
It’s important to consider hiring an attorney for bad faith because claim denials and bad faith can be complicated and confusing.
