Insurance Litigation
When a Hurricane Rita or other natural disaster strikes or an accident happens, property can be lost or damaged and injuries can result. As you suffer physical pain or view the damage to the possessions that you worked so hard to obtain, you feel powerless. You count on your insurance company to make it right. Too often, however, insurance companies deny, underpay, or mishandle the claims of their policyholders. A dispute with your insurance company can make you feel even more powerless.
You are not powerless. The Texas Hurricane Insurance Lawyers of Eberstein & Witherite, LLP, can help protect your legal right to compensation for hurricane-related losses. If you reside in Beaumont, Port Arthur, Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, or another Texas Gulf town, you need not travel far for help dealing with the devastation and destruction that Hurricane Rita left in its wake. Based in East Texas, the attorneys of Eberstein & Witherite, LLP, have stepped in to help families in Port Arthur, Beaumont, Jasper, Nacogdoches, Silsbee, Lufkin, Conroe, Liberty, Orange, and Lake Charles with their insurance claims.
As an insured in Texas, you have a contract with your insurance company. The contract is your insurance policy. You pay the premiums and, in turn, your insurance company owes you a fiduciary duty to handle your insurance claim in good faith. The Texas Insurance Code also requires that the company pay your worthy claim in a timely fashion. The company is prohibited from falsely informing you that your policy does not cover the damage you suffered, unnecessarily denying your claim, or offering an inappropriately low amount to settle the claim. You have the right to complain and are entitled to a fair and prompt settlement of your damages. If the company fails to live up to its obligations, it may be held liable.
