Things to Know About Hurricanes in Massachusetts

Massachusetts isn’t as prone to hurricanes as some other states. However, it’s still susceptible to hurricanes and tropical storms that take many people’s lives and lead to serious damage. The official storm season runs from June 1 through November 30, and during this time, property owners may want to prepare themselves for the unexpected.

Tropical storms, strong winds, and full-scale hurricanes can deal a fair share of property damage that triggers consequent hurricane damage claims. However, a bad-faith insurance provider may demotivate homeowners from rightful insurance claims, and that is where Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers step in and defend their rights!

What to Do During a Hurricane?

The primary thing to ensure during a hurricane is that you and your loved ones are safe. There are a few simple steps that our hurricane damage attorneys advise you to take when the natural disasters break loose:

  • Before the hurricane, stock up on vital supplies in case the danger lasts longer than anticipated.
  • Find a hurricane-resistant shelter. If there’s none in the proximity, you should find a part of your house that seems the least susceptible to potential impact.
  • Follow the instructions and updates from local authorities.
  • Keep away from flooded areas. The water usually rises rapidly, and engaging with it may be fatal.
  • High winds may shatter windows, so it is best to close the blinds if you have any and stay away from the windows to avoid getting injured by broken glass.
  • Power lines may be damaged during the hurricane, so it is imperative that your devices are fully charged and that you have alternative sources of power.

The Most Common Types of Hurricane Damages in Boston

To make the most of your hurricane damage claims, you have to list every type of damage that you’ve encountered. The most typical losses in Boston are the following:

Foundation damage
Roof damage
Structural damage
Utility damage
Equipment damage
Internal damage

Where do all these types of property impairments come from?

  1. Wind damage: Strong winds can take the roof off your house, turn your car over, and even uproot trees.
  2. Water damage: Floods can fully destroy your property due to high water levels, current strength, and debris.
  3. Hurricanes: Heavy storms include winds, rainfalls, and flooding, which can significantly impair, if not destroy, your property.

What Types of Hurricane Destruction Could Be Compensated?

Before initiating a hurricane damage insurance claim, you must be aware of the types of losses that your insurance policy covers.

Property Damage/Loss

Whether it is roof, wall, or foundation destruction caused by the hurricane, it should be covered by your insurance company, so it can be fully compensated. The same goes for personal belongings that were damaged.

Additional Living Expenses

Professional hurricane damage attorneys will help you obtain fair compensation for the living expenses, such as housing, meals, and related costs that are a direct consequence of the hurricane’s impact on your property.

Personal Injury

Sustaining a head injury, fracture, ankle sprain, or any other personal harm during the hurricane is not only possible but often probable. Our personal injury attorneys will assist you in making the most out of your insurance policies, despite the potential reluctance of the insurance companies to pay their dues.

Working with Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers, you can rest assured that our experts are willing to take an extra step to secure full compensation that covers your losses. Our recent case settlements can prove it!

How to File Success-Programmed Hurricane Damage Claims?

The insurance claims process is anything but simple since most insurance companies want to save as much as they can in every case. Our hurricane damage lawyer has a deep understanding of the intricacies of the law system, along with an extensive track record of successful negotiations with insurance adjusters. However, there are a few things you can do to help your legal representative build a solid claim that results in full financial recovery.

Gather Evidence

You should take photos of the destroyed property to present the full scale of the suffered damage. For instance, if it is flood insurance that you claim, you may want to take pictures of the flooded areas along with your walls, reined personal belongings, and the outsides of your damaged property.

List Damaged Items

A detailed log of damaged belongings will help you calculate the financial losses that you’ve suffered.

Gather Receipts

Property repairs that are carried out prior to the insurance company compensation should be recorded, with all the receipts preserved, so that you can claim these expenses as well.

How Can a Lawyer Help With the Case?

Hurricane damage claims are pretty complicated, and professional legal assistance comes of use in a variety of ways:

  • Hurricane damage lawyers have the necessary expertise and knowledge in the field.
  • A professional legal team will make sure that you don’t make any mistakes that can compromise your hurricane damage claim.
  • An experienced hurricane damage lawyer knows how to avoid potential bureaucracy and speed up the claim so that you recover any loss suffered faster.

Our attorneys have unparalleled negotiation skills that ensure the most favorable outcomes. We have zero tolerance for bad-faith insurance practices and know how to communicate with any insurance adjuster.
