“One of my most memorable cases was of a lovely couple who had tiles which were lifting up from the floor in their living room. This happens very often when there is a pipe leak underneath the cement. Their water bill was skyrocketing, so they knew there was a problem. They contacted their insurance company who denied the claim concluding that there was no water damage. Water had been seeping up through the tile throughout their entire house and de-bonding them. The insurance company said, ‘we’re not paying for that’.
Their insurance company tried to take advantage of them and I wouldn’t let that happen. They were nice people who couldn’t afford the thousands of dollars that it would take to make the repairs. Ultimately we prevailed for them, but it didn’t happen overnight. I had to file a lawsuit. It was unfortunate that this couple had paid premiums for so many years and when they had a covered loss, their insurance company failed them. I helped my clients fix their house, get their house back together, and get new tile flooring installed. They were so grateful. They dropped off a cake for our office to enjoy. It makes me very happy to have helped them.”
Please note: We currently only work with clients who have property damage insurance claims (no auto claims or uninsured claims).
