Hurricane & Storm Damage Claim Lawyer in Babylon, NY
Wind, hurricane, nor'easter, fallen-tree and flood claims for homeowners across the Town of Babylon.
Storm damage to a Babylon home should not be shortchanged by a wind-versus-flood argument. We review both policies, the cause of each item of damage and the carrier's estimate.
Storm damage claims require careful work on cause of loss, deductibles and the interplay between homeowners and flood coverage. We help Babylon homeowners in Lindenhurst, Deer Park and nearby communities hold their insurers to the terms of the policy.
Storm and Hurricane Risk in Babylon
Communities along the Great South Bay from Amityville to Babylon Village face surge, bay flooding and wind damage in nor'easters and tropical systems. Elevated homes add questions about what lies below the lowest floor and what each policy actually covers there.
Superstorm Sandy flooded thousands of homes south of Montauk Highway in Lindenhurst, Copiague, West Babylon and Amityville, making the town one of the hardest-hit on Long Island.
Why Storm Claims Get Denied or Underpaid
- Disputes between a homeowners carrier and a flood carrier
- Wind damage blamed on excluded flood or storm surge
- Roof damage called old or wear and tear instead of storm-related
- Hurricane or named-storm deductibles calculated incorrectly
- Tree and debris-removal limits applied too narrowly
