Total Loss Due To Flooding? How Victims Can Fight A Low Offer by Invoking the Appraisal Clause

September 5, 2017By Justin Petty

Prove a point on your total loss due to flooding after Hurricane Harvey with the Appraisal Clause

If you’re a victim of the recent flooding in South Texas and have a total loss due to flooding with your carrier, you should call our office immediately and make sure that any offer you get is fair and reasonable.

Now that South Texas is dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and Florida and Georgia brace for the impact of category 5 Hurricane Irma, victims will undoubtedly be dealing with total loss claims in exponential numbers and they need to know that insurance companies routinely handle these claims in a very dogmatic manner.

The biggest tactic is for a carrier to simply refuse to negotiate.

They will simply tell you, “take it or leave it”.

They like to claim that they do not have the authority to negotiate outside of their captive company market reports.

This is completely untrue and you can fight it.
