Residents in South Texas and across Mexico have been hit by Tropical Storm Alberto, this season's first named storm. Bringing heavy rain and major flooding, the storm has caused at least four deaths and extensive property damage. Multiple families lost their homes, and infrastructure and power lines in many cities will need to be repaired.
Texas residents reported wind and water damage, especially in Corpus Christi. The canals on the north side of Padre Island also suffered from the extreme weather. Two people were rescued from stalled vehicles in the flooding, and a downed power line forced morning commuters to reroute.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami downgraded the storm to a tropical depression, with scattered showers still expected across the state. Although all tropical storm warnings have been discontinued for now, Alberto was only the beginning of this hurricane season. This year's tropical storm forecast predicts up to 25 named events, all tropical storms or higher.
Victims of storm damage often have a difficult time recouping their losses. Paying a premium for insurance means one can expect a swift resolution when it's time to cash it in. Unfortunately, that's rarely the case. Insurance companies are known to drag their feet and do anything they can to deny the claim and save themselves money.
Property damage claims are typically resolved out of court, which is cheaper and faster for all parties. However, if an insurance company acts in bad faith, one can take the claim to court for a judge to decide upon. If the insurance company is found to have denied the claim unlawfully, the claimant can recover all losses and then some.
If money is needed from the insurance for property damage, working with an experienced attorney is the best way to resolve the claim quickly and without pushback. The team at Stormlex Law Group is dedicated to advocating for their clients and fighting for their right to insurance money. Whether the property has been damaged in storm Alberto or still waiting on payment from another claim, the Texas storm damage lawyers at Stormlex Law Group attorneys are able to assist.
