Property Damage Trial Attorneys
Why Experienced Representation Matters
Handling a commercial roof claim often requires deep knowledge of state regulations, building codes, and intricate policy provisions. Our property damage attorneys at JT Law Firm bring years of experience to the table. We interpret your policy, explain your obligations, and advocate for your best interests during negotiations with insurers. Havingrepresentation with a track record of successful outcomes can be crucial, especially when facing complicated or contested claims.
Your claim is meticulously handled, and we manage your claim as if it’s going to trial from day 1, so in the event that your insurer chooses not to honor their financial responsibilities to you, our legal team will expedite trial preparations.
Not every case ends in trial. In fact, most cases settle outside of a courtroom, but it’s good for your insurer to know the law firm managing your claim will take the case to trial if needed. The reality is formal litigation hearings exist to hold parties accountable for their responsibilities, and if the law firm managing your claim rarely or never goes to trial, that reputation of settling for less follows them, and the insurance company will take advantage of their reputation.
Ask your attorney if they take cases all the way to trial if that’s what’s needed to receive a fair payout.
When a law firm has a reputation for going to trial, the insurer is generally more likely to avoid a lengthy claim process and settle for a fair payout outside of court. This benefits the property owner because they are able to move on faster andrepairs can be finalized quicker than the alternative.
How JT Law Firm Maximizes Your Commercial Roof Claim
- Step 1
Our team begins with a complimentary claim evaluation of your commercial property. During this step we are assessing the strength of your claim and determining its potential validity. We’ll also assign a potential claim value for your case to see if it makes sense to pursue while keeping your insurance deductible in mind.
- Step 2
Thorough Inspection – With our extensive network of qualified adjusters, engineers, and industry professionals our team is able to obtain highly detailed evidence to support your claim to then pursue the highest possible payout on your behalf. This critical step cannot be overlooked as it is the basis to establish a strong claim foundation for us to pursue a high payout for you. Your insurance company’s adjuster is likely flooded with inspections forced on them in volume by the insurance company who hired them, so their time to properly inspect your commercial property is limited. This means powerful and compelling evidence may be overlooked, which would not be good for your claim. Documenting every detail is critical, which is why this step is foundational for us to complete.
- Step 3
Cause, Origin, and Damage Assessment – Understanding the root cause and extent of damage is vital for a fair settlement. We compile detailed reports that minimize the insurer’s ability to dismiss or undervalue your losses.
- Step 4
Receive a coverage decision from the insurance company – After sending the claim and all collected evidence to the insurance company the next step is waiting for a coverage decision. If your insurer chooses to honor the claim’s full value then our involvement essentially ends here. However, if the insurer chooses to partially deny your claim or denies it entirely, then we are fully prepared to continue negotiations on your behalf.
- Step 5
We will take the case all the way to trial if that’s what we have to do for you to receive a fair and proper payout.
All the cases we handle are treated as if they are going to trial from day 1 – so if your case does end in trial, then our team switches focus from negotiations to litigation. We have a proven track record of winning 7 figure settlements in court, so we do not shy away from a fight.
Common Claim Challenges and Our Solutions
– Denied or Partially Denied Claims
Insurers sometimes deny claims outright or only approve a portion of the damages. With our legal team on your side, you don’t have to accept a denial or partial payment at face value. We conduct an in-depth review of your claim, highlight overlooked evidence, and negotiate or litigate to achieve a more favorable resolution.
– Underpaid Claims
If an insurance company undervalues necessary repairs or replacement costs, it can result in out-of-pocket expenses for the commercial property owner. We carefully dissect estimates and challenge insurers to cover the true cost of restoring your commercial roof.
– Delayed Claims
Delays in payment or communication can stall much-needed repairs. By holding insurers accountable, we keep your claim moving so you can maintain focus on your business operations.
When to Contact a Commercial Roof Damage Lawyer
- Denied Claims: If you’ve been told you have no coverage, an attorney can investigate whether the denial was justified.
- Low Settlement Offers: An inadequate payment may leave you unable to afford proper repairs or a full roof replacement.
- Complicated Policy Language: Commercial policies often include complex clauses. We simplify the fine print and protect your interests.
- Cause-of-Damage Disputes: Insurers might claim your roof’s damage is due to wear and tear instead of a covered event. We collect evidence to validate legitimate storm or accident-related damage.
