Where you a victim of the April tornados? Did you homeowner's insurance policy deny your claim? Did your policy pay you everything you were entitled to?
On April 28, 2011, families all over the Alabama were devastated by a series of tornados that swept through our state. Many families lost everything including loved ones and priceless possessions.
For weeks and months following the Alabama tornados, victims all over Alabama began the difficult process of rebuilding their lives. Homes damaged and/or leveled needing rebuilding and repairing. As a result, the focus on federal relief efforts such as FEMA and homeowner insurance policies became a priority. Many people assumed because they had private insurance policies that their homes would be covered. However, in some cases this would prove to be false.
Insurance policies are written in a way that make it extremely difficult for the average Alabamian to understand their policy and to understand all they, the homeowner, are entitled to. The insurance companies know this and are aware that most people do not know what their policy provides for them. Sadly, this was and is a reality for many people who where victims in the Alabama tornados.
The other issue with insurance companies has been failure to pay in a timely manner. Insurance companies realize that for homeowners, dealing with a policy claim can be an enormous headache. Some insurance companies will intentionally delay payment or avoid payment for claims knowing the homeowner will eventually get frustrated and drop the claim entirely.
