Windstorms and hailstorms can cause significant damage to homes, businesses, apartment complexes, and commercial properties throughout Louisiana. While some damage is immediately visible, other damage may go unnoticed until leaks, structural issues, or deterioration begin to appear months later. Unfortunately, insurance companies often dispute the extent of damage, underestimate repair costs, or attempt to attribute storm-related damage to wear and tear or pre-existing conditions.
