An Overview of the Storm Leading Up To Submitted Hurricane Ida Damage Claims
On the afternoon of August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall that caused extreme flooding and extensive structural damage to properties along a path that stretched along Louisiana’s coastal towns and cities, including Grand Isle, LaPlace, Houma, Golden Meadow, Galliano, and several others.
Hurricane Ida is the second strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005–with 150 mph winds that caused extensive damage, tearing the roofs off of homes and businesses.
Other details of damage reported by Hurricane Ida survivors include:
- The most extensive structural damage was located in Galliano, Houma, and Jefferson Parish
- Millions of residents in both New Orleans and the French Quarter were left without power
- Most levees held up for the most part, save for a few of the smaller ones that spilled over causing rampant flooding
After the storm finally died down, millions of residents counted on their homeowner’s policies and flood insurance policies for help repairing, rebuilding, or relocating.
The Steps To Take To Prepare To File Hurricane Damage Claims
Here’s a quick list of what to do to help in preparing a claim for hurricane damage with the insurance company:
- Be aware of the home insurance policy. This includes deductibles, covered property types, and how to file a claim in the event of a storm.
- Evaluate adding flood insurance protection to the policy. Many coastal states don’t include flood insurance in the standard homeowners insurance policy–so adding one can be a good idea.
- Document photo and video damage evidence of property. This is the undeniable evidence of home and property damage that the insurance company should reimburse.
- Make essential and temporary repairs–but not permanent ones. Repairs that prevent additional damage from occurring are good to make, but hold off on making major repairs until directed by an insurance adjuster.
- File a homeowners insurance claim immediately after the storm. After meeting with a qualified attorney, file a claim as soon as possible to avoid the rush and make sure to include everything in your claim as required by your home state.
We believe that victims of major storms and their families should be able to get the compensation and justice they deserve from insurance companies that try to get out of the payouts that they owe.
