Comprehensive Investigation
If your claim has already been denied, we will first review the insurance company's report about their denial. These reports, which are State mandated, are usually compiled by a geologist who is retained by your insurance company and sent out to inspect your property. These geologists may be biased though, since it is in their interest to come to a conclusion that will profit the insurance company.
We will employ our own geologist to do additional testing and see if their conclusions support the insurance company's report. If our geologist does find sinkhole activity, sinkhole attorney KC Williams will appeal the denied claim and pursue the insurance company for the cost of the repairs. We will use this supporting evidence from our geologist to substantiate the claim. We will make sure that our claim covers all cosmetic and substantial repairs.
If your denied claim warrants an appeal, we will also include in the cost of the repairs the extra lapsed time and how that has affected your property and the condition. Our goal is to ensure your property is restored to its pre-loss condition.
Insurance companies deny claims sometimes simply because it's in their best interest. It's in your best interest to fight back and retain an experienced sinkhole attorney who can help you receive maximum compensation for your repairs. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation if you have a denied claim that requires immediate attention.
