Pursuant to La. R.S. 22:1982, insurance companies must pay or make a settlement offer on any claim due to an insured within 30 days after receipt of satisfactory proofs of loss. The Louisiana Supreme Court has stated an insurance company cannot stonewall an insured simply because the insured is unable to prove the exact extent of his damages. The insurance company must tender any undisputed amount.
This is one of the few instances where a claimant can collect attorneys fees under Louisiana law. It’s a powerful tool in your arsenal to push back against your insurance company if they are not treating you fairly and are in violation of this law.

Here are several examples of the potential damage caused by hurricanes:
Severe flooding
Shattered windows and glass doors
Devastated landscaping, uprooted trees, and damaged shrubs
Foundation problems
Impaired pools, sheds, garages, and other standalone structures
Destruction of personal belongings
Water damage
Structural impairments resulting from flying objects
Additional challenges arising from utility losses, such as electricity and water supply disruptions.
Roof Damage: High winds can tear off shingles, tiles, or even collapse the entire roof structure.
Electrical System Disruption: Flooding or wind damage can disrupt the electrical wiring, posing fire hazards or rendering the home without power.
Flooding: Heavy rainfall and storm surge can cause extensive water damage to the interior of the home.
Water Damage: Leaks, seepage, or pipe breakage due to high winds or flooding can lead to extensive water damage, including mold growth.
Window and Door Failure: Strong winds can shatter windows and blow open doors, leading to water intrusion and further destruction.
Debris Impact: Flying debris, such as branches or projectiles, can cause structural damage to walls, windows, and roofs.
Structural Failure: Severe hurricanes can cause the complete or partial collapse of walls, floors, or entire sections of the house.
HVAC System Impairment: Hurricanes can damage heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, affecting temperature control and air quality.
Foundation Damage: The force of floodwaters or excessive rain can undermine the stability of the home's foundation, resulting in cracks or even shifting.
Loss of Utilities: Hurricanes can disrupt water supply, sewage systems, and electricity, leaving homes without essential services for an extended period.
We understand how serious the effects of a hurricane can be for homeowners and their families. Insurance companies can make it difficult for families to rebuild after a partial or full loss of a home.
