Experienced Appraisal And Coverage Disputes Attorney In Houston
You pay your premiums on time because you expect your insurance company to honor its promise when disaster strikes. Instead, you often find yourself caught in a maze of delays, lowball offers and technical excuses.
At The Loyd Law Firm, we understand the frustration of watching a multibillion-dollar corporation protect its profits while your property sits in ruins. Our lead attorney, Shannon Loyd, spent years working inside the insurance industry in Houston. Our team knows exactly how insurance companies stall, deceive and pressure policyholders into giving up. We will fight for you because we believe you deserve every penny of the coverage you paid for.
What Are Insurance Appraisal And Coverage Disputes?
An appraisal dispute happens when the insurance company admits they owe you money but disagrees on the total cost of the damage. They might claim your repairs cost a few thousand dollars while your contractor knows it will take tens of thousands to make you whole.
Meanwhile, a coverage dispute takes place when the company argues they do not have to pay you anything at all. They might claim your policy does not cover the specific storm or that you failed to meet a hidden deadline in the fine print.
The Appraisal And Coverage Dispute Process In Texas
We follow an aggressive timeline to ensure your claim does not sit on a desk gathering dust. Here’s a closer look at the process:
- Formal demand letter: We will start the process by submitting a letter detailing exactly how the insurance company failed you and what they must pay to make you whole.
- The appraisal clause invocation: We will take the decision-making power away from the insurance adjuster and put it into an independent process.
- An independent appraiser selection: You need an appraiser who understands the true cost of construction and refuses to accept lowball estimates.
- The neutral umpire appointment: We will involve a third party to resolve any remaining disagreements and set a final, binding value for your loss.
- Litigation for coverage denials: We will take the fight into a courtroom if the company refuses to acknowledge its legal obligations under your policy.
- The final award or judgment: You will wait for a binding decision from the court.
This process takes the pressure off you and puts it on the multibillion-dollar corporation that is trying to shortchange your recovery. We will manage the technical elements and the deadlines while you focus on getting your business or home back in order.
