When Insurance Companies Do Not Come Through, We Are Here.
Storms, fires, accidents, and other natural calamities may wreak havoc on a homeowner’s finances. As a result, homeowners insurance is a must-have. However, insurance companies are in business to make a profit, so they will look for any reason to deny a claim or offer you a lowball repair quote.

How A Lawyer Can Assist You With An Insurance Claim
Depending on where you reside in the United States, insurance firms are typically obligated to examine and resolve insurance claims within 30 to 90 days.
If your insurance company unfairly denied, delayed, or underpaid your claim, or if they refuse to consider your disagreement, your next step may be to contact an insurance recovery lawyer, who may investigate your claim for evidence of bad faith practices.
Home and rental insurance agreements can contain sophisticated legal jargon that most consumers find difficult to grasp on their own. A lawyer can assist you by reading your insurance policy, clarifying your coverage, and bolstering your coverage claim.
If you’ve already filed an insurance claim with your insurer and need assistance with the dispute process, one of our insurance recovery attorneys can evaluate your claim and establish your eligibility to pursue legal action against your insurer if there’s evidence of bad faith.
What our lawyers can do for you, during an insurance claim dispute
- Assisting you in deciding if the insurance carrier’s offer for property damage reimbursement is reasonable and appropriate.
- If the initial offer is too low, you can negotiate a higher sum with your insurance.
- Your insurance company refused your claim or made an insufficient reimbursement for your damages while we represented you in court.
- The objective of insurance is to safeguard you and your property against unforeseen threats that might cause harm – or even total destruction. Whether your insurance provider is delaying payments, making lowball offers, or outright refusing your claim, Legal Grit is here to help.

What does homeowners insurance protect against?
Generally, homeowner’s insurance will cover replacing your home and personal property damages. Most disasters are covered, but not earthquakes or floods, and homeowner’s policies do not cover the normal aging of your house and general maintenace. Homeowner’s insurance also may include liability coverage, which covers personal injuries to other people that happen due to your negligence.
Homeowners’ insurance typically covers a wide range of damages, including but not limited to:
- Fire damage: Compensation for losses caused by fire incidents.
- Wind/ Hail damage: Coverage for damages caused by high winds, such as roof damage or structural destruction.
- Plumbing/Appliance failures: Reimbursement for water and ensuing damages resulting from a sudden and accidental pipe breaks, bursts and appliance failures.
- Theft and vandalism: Protection against losses due to theft or acts of vandalism.
- Mold: Compensation for ensuing mold losses resulting from a covered peril.
- Biohazard: Coverage for damages caused by hazardous materials or substances.
- Hurricane damage: Protection against losses caused by hurricanes or tropical storms.
What should I do if my insurance company refuses to pay my claim?
If your insurance company denies your claim or fails to provide a satisfactory settlement, it’s advisable to seek legal assistance from a homeowners’ insurance claim lawyer. They can review your policy, gather evidence to support your claim, and advocate for your rights, increasing the likelihood of a fair resolution to your case.
Remember, each case is unique, and it’s important to consult with an attorney who can provide personalized advice based on the specific details of your situation.

Legal Grit and Mr. Jesse Long were nothing short of fantastic. I was actually referred to this legal team as a result of an insurance company not standing up to their end of the bargain. Mr. Long handled this commercial scale law suit with incredible speed and effectiveness. For not having a personal friendship or past business relationship with this firm, they treated me like I was their only client and achieved a result I did not think I could get. I apologize if I hurt any attorneys feelings by saying this, but in this case, I finally feel like I've met an honest one. Thank you Jesse for you incredible trade craft and professionalism.

I highly recommend Legal Grit, PLLC, if you need help with a claim against your insurance company. Fighting the insurance company alone can be daunting. Without proper representation, many people’s insurance claims are denied or severally underpaid by the insurance company. However, Legal Grit is able to assist clients through the claims process by reviewing insurance policies to determine the maximum claim amount available, submitting a claim to the insurance company, and negotiating the claim on your behalf. They aren’t afraid to take the insurance companies to court, and won’t hesitate to file a lawsuit against the insurance companies, if a valid claim is denied. As a business attorney, I recommend Jesse Long at Legal Grit, PLLC to all my clients who need help fighting for a fair resolution to an insurance claim.
