Homeowners’ Fire Insurance Claims

If you are a Texas homeowner whose property has been damaged or destroyed by the wildfires, you may need an attorney to protect your rights. In a disaster of this magnitude, insurance companies will often resort to bad faith insurance tactics to avoid paying as many valid claims as they can get away with.

Attorney Tony Malley is knowledgeable in insurance law, with years of experience dealing with insurance companies. He is looking to help the communities that have been so severely affected by these devastating Texas wildfires. Contact Mr. Malley today for a free consultation to determine if you are in need of legal assistance.

Wildfires Roar across Texas Lands

The dry weather and high winds combined with the abundant grasslands left over from the rainy season make for terrible fire conditions. According to the Texas Forest Service, more than 1.8 million acres and 900 structures have burned statewide since Jan. 1, 2011.

How an Attorney Can Help You

When your home has been destroyed by a fire, it can be a traumatic time as well as financially devastating. Most individuals and families are devastated when their homes are destroyed and should not have to deal with the stress of filing an insurance claim on their own.

It is important not only to get the claims process started quickly, but also to get it done properly. Mr. Malley can assist in making sure you have a proper proof of loss and the correct valuation for your home. In the event that your valid claim has been denied by an insurance company, you have rights that need to be protected. Mr. Malley will investigate whether the grounds for the denial constitute bad faith insurance.

If you had an insurance policy which covered fire damage, and your premiums were current, the insurance company is obligated to hold up its end of the bargain. The penalty for bad faith insurance practices can end up compensating the homeowner more than the actual value of the claim.
