– DEREK B.

Significant property damage often costs more than a family can afford to fix. That’s why everyone recommends homeowner’s insurance and why some mortgage providers require it. You might have a tree fall on your roof, an electrical fire, or a burglary. But be prepared for your claim to be met with annoying delays or a confusing denial from your insurer.

If you believe your insurance company wrongly denied or dragging its feet on your claim, call The Law Giant for help. We make sure insurance companies hold up their end of the policy. If their actions were illegal and cost you money, we’ll fight for you to receive compensation.

What Does Texas Homeowner’s Insurance Cover?

Homeowner’s insurance covers the cost of repairs or replacement of your home and belongings if they sustain damage under certain circumstances.

Precisely what your homeowner’s insurance covers depends on your specific policy. It could cover:

Don’t expect it to cover everything, though, costly items like art and jewelry. You might need to pay for additional riders to your policy.

Each policy covers specific types of incidents and damage while excluding others. Many policies cover issues from severe storms, fires, theft, and vandalism. But most policies don’t cover damage from earthquakes or floods. You have to buy separate insurance policies for those natural disasters.

Common Property Damage Claims

If your claim is common or relatively minor in terms of the cost of repairs, insurance usually does what’s right. It’s when you’re facing significant damage that you might experience trouble. Never hesitate to call an insurance lawyer if your insurer isn’t forthcoming with a payout.

Things Standard Homeowner’s Policies Don’t Cover

Many homeowners in Texas learn the hard way that homeowners’ insurance doesn’t cover many issues. You might make a claim only to have it denied. You’ll need to take a close look at your policy to review what it covers and exclusions. Don’t wait to reach out to a lawyer for help. These policies can be confusing, and you might not trust your insurer’s answers.

What Happens After You File a Property Damage Insurance Claim

Once you file a claim with your homeowner’s insurance provider, it opens up an investigation. During this time, you have to cooperate with the insurance company. You’ll communicate with an adjuster who will probably be the one to inspect your home. You may need to get one or more estimates for repairs.

The law requires insurers to meet deadlines, including:

The company can extend its 15-day deadline up to 45 days, but it has to tell you it needs more time and why. Your insurer can take up to 60 days to evaluate your claim.

Once the insurer approves your claim, it has five business days to pay you.

The Texas Consumer Bill of Rights for Homeowners

As a homeowner, it’s essential to know your rights. Texas has a Consumer Bill Rights that specifically addresses renter’s and homeowners’ rights, though it doesn’t set out every right you have. If you aren’t sure about your rights, always call an attorney experienced with property damage insurance claims.

Your rights include but are not limited to:
