Texas Hurricane And Wildfire Disaster Litigation Attorneys: Delivering Effective Legal Support After A Natural Disaster
When Human Error Worsens A Disaster: Third-Party Negligence
Natural disasters are frequently compounded by preventable human error. Did a pipe burst solely because of a freeze, or was it installed incorrectly? Did a retaining wall collapse due to rain, or was the engineering defective?
We look beyond the storm to identify third-party negligence that amplified your loss. Whether the damage stems from oil spills, faulty construction or municipal drainage failures, liability often extends to developers, manufacturers or government entities. By investigating these root causes, we can pursue compensation from these responsible parties, recovering critical funds for damages that your standard insurance policy will never cover.
If we represent you, we will evaluate all known facts to determine all causes of the damage you experienced. We may be able to bring construction litigation on your behalf or take other legal action for you, at the same time that we pursue your rightful insurance benefits after a natural disaster.
You and your family or business associates have enough to deal with after a hurricane or another disaster. You do not need to put up with insurance companies that refuse to live up to their obligations as you seek your rightful benefits needed for recovery.
You may need a new roof, a rebuilt exterior and other repairs to your property to overcome the effects of wind damage. You have dutifully made insurance premium payments over the years. Now that you are filing a legitimate claim for benefits, you deserve fair, professional treatment from claims adjusters. You need a repair plan and money in the bank.

We are here to advocate for you, to help you get results with minimal delays.

Let our law firm take over while you use your time and energy to get back to business as usual after a disaster. We are here to take a load off your mind and apply our proven skills in pursuit of the results you need.
Comprehensive Representation For Texas Wildfire Litigation
Wildfire devastation extends far beyond simple property loss. Our firm has a proven track record in this complex arena, having successfully represented over 40 individual and institutional plaintiffs following the catastrophic 2011 Bastrop Wildfire. We also represented the County of Bastrop, Bastrop ISD and Smithville ISD in their claims against the parties believed to be responsible.
These cases often require looking past standard insurance policies to identify third-party negligence, such as utility companies failing to maintain power lines or entities neglecting vegetation management. We possess the resources to handle these large-scale mass torts, looking for every liable party.
Protecting Policyholders In The Aftermath Of Coastal Storms: Hurricane Litigation Focus
Coastal residents face unique battles after a storm passes. Insurance carriers frequently deny valid claims by arguing that damage was caused by floodwater rather than wind. This is a technical distinction that they use to avoid payouts.
We possess deep experience litigating these complex “wind vs. water” disputes, specifically against the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). Our firm’s physical presence in Galveston County also provides a critical strategic advantage. We are already on the ground, ready to investigate your property and value damages before any evidence gets lost.
Our team represented more than 300 Galveston County plaintiffs in lawsuits against TWIA. We helped families and individuals whose homes were damaged or completely destroyed by Hurricane Ike.
Dual Action Litigation: Pairing Disaster Recovery With Bad Faith Claims
When an insurer unreasonably delays, underpays or denies a valid claim, they may be violating the Texas Insurance Code. Our strategic advantage lies in dual action litigation: we simultaneously litigate the underlying property damage claim while prosecuting a separate action for “Bad Faith.”
This aggressive approach is designed to recover the full funds necessary for your repairs. We also seek payment for punitive damages and statutory penalties.
The Advantage Of Contingency Representation
Are you worried about paying a lawyer? In most cases, we represent clients after natural disasters on a contingency basis. We will be paid as a percentage of your final payout. This means you will not likely owe us fees until we help you obtain the benefits you seek and any other financial resources that we uncover.
However, if you continue doing battle with insurers on your own, you may miss the benefits you have coming to you that they do not disclose. You may miss the opportunity to bring an appropriate lawsuit. You may experience ongoing frustration and roadblocks along the path to financial recovery.
With our help, you can expect maximum recovery through your insurance policies and any other type of compensation we help you tap into. Thanks to our strong ethical philosophy, we will take your case only if we believe our law firm can bring you a substantial net gain over what you could obtain on your own, even after accounting for legal fees.
