Get Paid What You’re Owed After a Hurricane
If your home or business was damaged by a hurricane, your insurance policy should protect you — not create more stress. Unfortunately, many Louisiana policyholders face delayed payments, denied claims, or settlements that fall far short of what is needed to rebuild.
Ketry Law Firm, LLC represents homeowners, property owners, and business owners across Louisiana in hurricane-related insurance claims. We step in when insurance companies fail to honor their obligations and fight to recover the compensation available under the policy.
Hurricane claims can involve complicated questions about the cause of damage, repair costs, coverage, and the insurance company’s handling of the claim. Ketry Law works to identify these issues and protect the rights of Louisiana policyholders.

Common Problems /
Why Hurricane Claims Are Often Underpaid
After a hurricane, insurance disputes can arise when carriers:
• Undervalue repair and replacement costs
• Delay claim investigation or payment
• Attribute wind damage to flooding
• Dispute the cause of the loss
• Overlook portions of the property damage
• Deny claims without a proper investigation
• Offer settlements that do not reflect the full scope of repairs
Wind-versus-water disputes are especially important after hurricanes because the cause of the damage may determine whether coverage applies under the policy.
HOW KETRY LAW HELPS

Important Information /
Louisiana Insurance Law and Hurricane Claims
Louisiana law imposes duties on insurance companies when handling property claims.
Louisiana Revised Statute 22:1892 addresses the timely adjustment and payment of claims after satisfactory proof of loss.
Louisiana Revised Statute 22:1973 addresses an insurer’s duty of good faith and fair dealing.
Depending on the circumstances, conduct such as unreasonable delays, misrepresentation of coverage, failure to properly investigate, or unjustified denials may give rise to additional remedies under Louisiana law.
Because every insurance claim and policy is different, the specific facts and policy language should be reviewed before determining what legal remedies may apply.
