Many homeowners along the Gulf Coast have spent decades making saving
up and making mortgage payments on their homes. Unfortunately,
hurricanes Rita and Katrina have wreaked havoc on the area and most of
the homes in the area are either damaged or destroyed. Most of these
homeowners are now learning that their insurance claims are being
rejected by their insurance companies – some for unjust reasons.
As insurance companies such as State Farm, Nationwide and Allstate are
attempt to send out personnel to hurricane affected areas, the
expertise of some adjusters have come into question. So far there have
been hundreds of reports of inexperienced adjusters who have been too
quick to reject claims. This is causing unnecessary agony for
homeowners who now are faced with an uncertain future.
Many homeowners have insurance policies that do not cover flooding
damages, but do cover wind damages. Because of Katrina & Rita many
properties have now undergone both flood and wind damage. The legal
concept behind flood versus wind damage is very complex and requires
the analysis of legal professionals. For instance Mississippi has a
lawsuit filed against insurance companies that argue that the
distinction between flood and wind damage are very ambiguous in
homeowners’ policies. Because of the complicated legal action
involved, the flood versus wind debate will be lengthy and difficult
to prove.
