Yes. A denial is the insurer's position, not the final word. You can dispute it, invoke appraisal, or sue, and Texas law penalizes insurers who delay or underpay through Chapter 542A and the Prompt Payment Act.
Common reasons include calling the damage wear and tear, labeling hail dents cosmetic, or an engineer report that finds no storm damage. Many of these denials are arguable with the right inspection and evidence.
Before suing on a weather claim, you must give the insurer written notice at least 61 days in advance stating what they did wrong, the amount owed, and your fees. Skipping it can get your case abated or cost you attorney fees.
Underpayment is just as challengeable as a denial. We bring in independent inspectors to show the gap between the carrier's check and the real cost to repair, then recover the difference plus any prompt-payment penalties.
Generally two years from the denial or underpayment. Because the Chapter 542A notice must go out at least 61 days before filing, it is best to start well before the deadline.
No. We work on contingency, so you pay no fee unless we recover money for you, and the first consultation is free.
