Hurricane & Storm Damage Claim Lawyer in Huntington, NY
Wind, hurricane, nor'easter, fallen-tree and flood claims for homeowners across the Town of Huntington.
Storm damage to a Huntington 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.
Long Island storms do not follow policy language. A single hurricane or nor'easter can tear off shingles, drop a tree through a roof, push water through windows and flood a lower level, all in one night. In East Northport, Elwood and Commack, each of those may fall under a different coverage, deductible or policy.
Storm and Hurricane Risk in Huntington
Sound-front homes in Asharoken, Eatons Neck, Lloyd Harbor and Huntington Bay face surge and erosion, while wooded neighborhoods across the town are exposed to falling trees in summer storms and nor'easters. Disputes usually focus on roof replacement versus patch repair and on tree and debris-removal limits.
Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020 and repeated nor'easters downed trees and power lines across the town, and coastal storms have repeatedly damaged Asharoken Avenue and the Eatons Neck shoreline.
Why Storm Claims Get Denied or Underpaid
- Tree and debris-removal limits applied too narrowly
- Patch repairs offered where full replacement is needed
- 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
