Snow and ice storms can cause serious damage to one’s home or property and result in thousands in damage that requires immediate action on behalf of the homeowner.

Winter storms can bring high winds, heavy snow, and hail that can cause serious damage, notably to automobiles, skylights, glass-roofed structures, and roofs. When a frigid blast hits your home, it can sustain damage from any of the following:

  • Damage to structures from falling trees.
  • Heavy snow or ice can cause roofs, porches, carports and outdoor buildings to collapse.
  • Large tree limbs can fall and cause damage to the structure.
  • Power outages can lead to pipes that freeze and burst.
  • A leaky roof can cause damage to the structure, the carpeting, walls, and belongings inside the home.

Your home is probably the largest investment of your life and when it sustains expensive damage because of snow and ice, you expect your insurance company to pay for the damage and repairs. After all, it was an act of nature that caused the damage in the first place.

Unfortunately, homeowners can be in for an unpleasant surprise when they discover that the insurance company that they have faithfully paid their dues to causes unnecessary delays, refuses to pay for certain damage, grossly devalues a claim, or denies a claim altogether, leaving the homeowner to pay for the damage to their home out of pocket.

If your home or property has sustained damage from snow or ice, we urge you to contact Brasher Law Firm, PLLC. Insurance companies are for-profit companies that will do everything to pay out as little as possible in order to protect their bottom line. Even when insurance companies do pay for damage, they frequently pay far less than the claim is actually worth, thereby forcing the homeowner to accept the loss.

We urge you to contact our office at (888) 791–8211 to find out how we can help. We offer free case evaluations and we take cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no fee unless we recover for you!

We serve residents living all throughout Texas; call our office today at (888) 989–2889
