Roof Damage Lawyers
Fighting For Fair Insurance Settlements in Texas
Due to the severe nature of storms that are experienced in Texas, the roof of a home or business may sustain damage caused by severe hail or wind damage. Strong winds may also cause a roof to be ripped away from the structure of the home. In turn, water damage to the contents and structure of the home may result.

What is the “Right to Repair” Clause in an Insurance Policy?
Many homeowner’s insurance policies have what is known as a “Right to Repair” clause written into their policy. This little-known clause could permit the insurance company to repair your roof using their own contractors. In many instances, instead of having a roof replaced, they will make cheaper roof repairs which may actually cause a problem to become worse over time.
There are many troubling aspects associated with the “Right to Repair” clause that policyholders continually take issues with when it comes to roof damage. One of the most predominant is that of not being able to hire your own contractor who you trust to complete the repairs. Your insurer may offer you a slight discount or perhaps even force you to accept the “Right to Repair” clause.
When this clause is invoked, you may be at the mercy of the insurance company as to when the actual repairs are completed. In the past, many individuals have complained about disagreements, delays, undervaluation, and inferior repairs surrounded by this clause.
Taking this into account, it may be wise to search for an insurance provider who will not include this type of stipulation within your homeowner’s insurance policy.
Can I Dispute an Insurance Claim Against My Insurance Company?
Through advertising campaigns, the general public has been led to believe that if we just faithfully pay our premiums, then the insurance company will make sure that all of our needs are met should an occasion arise in which we need to make a claim.
Disappointingly, an insurer may attempt to minimize the hail damage or the effect of the wind damage that you have suffered to your roof. In turn, they may try to compensate you for less than your claim is worth.
You do not have to go it alone to get the just and full compensation that you rightfully deserve for your claim. Contact our law firm today by calling 877-890-6372 and schedule a time to speak with one of our qualified attorneys.
