Texas Hurricane Damage Attorney
Hurricane Ike made its final landfall in Baytown, Texas, near Galveston Island as a Category 2 hurricane on Saturday, September 13, 2008, causing extensive damage on the Texas Coast and to areas inland. It was the third most destructive hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States.
Much of the hurricane damage it caused is covered by insurance, but unfortunately many insurance companies are failing to provide adequate compensation. In fact, some are refusing to provide compensation altogether or providing only pennies on the dollar.
Your insurance company has the legal duty to deal with you in good faith. If it doesn't, you have the right to claim treble damages.
Craft Hughes Law, P.C., is a firm that represents insurance policy holders in bad faith insurance claims. We will work to obtain treble damages if your insurance company has violated the law.

You Have Rights
Not only do you have a contract with your insurance company, but your insurance company owes you certain duties under common law and Texas statutes, including the duty of utmost good faith and fair dealing. Your insurance company has a duty to thoroughly investigate your claim, to inform you of the specific policy provisions that apply to your claim, and it must have a satisfactory and reasonable basis and explanation for any denial or underpayment of your claim. The law protects you from dishonest insurance companies who routinely - and arbitrarily - underpay and deny valid claims.
