Don't Settle for Denied or Underpaid Insurance Claims for Your Home
If your home or property has been affected by weather, theft, fire, or vandalism, your insurance company is supposed to help you pay for the damages. If your home insurance claim has gone unpaid or underpaid, you have rights.

You don't have to accept a denied property insurance claim in Texas!
Hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail, and high winds are common occurrences here in Texas, and all can cause considerable damage to residential and commercial property. Too often, we hear of insurance companies refusing to pay for repairs. Even though property owners do their part by paying for the right insurance, their claims after a storm can be delayed, undervalued, or even denied.

5 Step Texas Insurance Claim Process
1. File a Claim
As soon as you are aware of property damage, file a claim. Swift action helps ensure you get a favorable response.
2. Meet the Adjuster
Make sure you are present when the insurance adjuster inspects your property. Answer their questions and point out the damage, but don't volunteer too much information.
3. Keep the Receipts
Keep careful records of all communication between you, your insurance adjuster, and your insurance company. Record the dates, times, and names of everyone you speak to.
4. Watch the Calendar & Follow Up
Texas Insurance Codes state that the insurer has 15 days to approve or deny your claim. From there, they have 5 days to make payment. If they deny your claim, they must give you a written statement to explain their decision. Follow up with your claims adjuster to ensure your insurance company is on track to resolve your claim. Learn more about the Texas insurance claim timeline here.
5. Don't Settle
Insurance companies are in the business of making money. They want to minimize your claim. Don't let them. Read your policy and negotiate for your rights under your policy. If you know your insurance agency is underpaying your claim, get help from an experienced insurance claims defense attorney in your area.
Property Insurance Claims Attorneys
Our Property Insurance Claim Practice Areas
The Lane Law Firm has been representing property owners and fighting insurance claim disputes since 2009. Our lawyers for home insurance claims have the experience to tackle any property insurance claim you may be dealing with, but our most common practice areas include:
Hail Damage
Hail damage is common for Texas property owners, leading to delayed, denied, or underpaid insurance claims. In 2023, Texas led the nation with 1,123 major hail events, impacting over 1.5 million properties. The Lane Law Firm can help property owners receive fair compensation for their hail damage claims. With a proven track record and experienced attorneys, we ensure clients receive the compensation they deserve. Contact us today for a consultation.
Fire Damage & Smoke Damage
The losses associated with fire damage claims and smoke damage claims are devastating. While fire claims are rare, accounting for just 22% of homeowner and renter insurance claims, the amount lost per claim far exceeds all other types of claims. Because many of these instances displace residents, there are additional fees beyond just the cost of damage that your insurance company should repay. If you're having trouble securing coverage for additional living expenses or any damage caused by a fire in your home or property, The Lane Law Firm's team of experienced insurance defense attorneys is here to help.
Theft Claims
Has your vandalism or theft claim been delayed, denied, or underpaid? The Lane Law Firm has helped hundreds of property owners resolve their claims, and we want to help you do the same! According to FBI statistics, a theft, or burglary occurs every 14.6 seconds. When it happens to you, you feel violated. Your only comfort is knowing your insurance company will compensate you for your loss. However, all too often insurance companies try to deny, delay, or underpay claims. The Lane Law Firm is here to support Texas property owners seeking fair coverage.
Windstorm Damage
Tropical storms, hurricanes, and even severe thunderstorms can cause billions of dollars in property damage. While the devastation from these severe storms should be obvious, many insurance companies will work to avoid making fair, prompt payouts. If your insurance company unreasonably delays your windstorm claim or fails to settle for damage incurred by a storm, you have a legal right to enforce your policy. Get help from experienced insurance defense attorneys.
Freeze Claims
Winter storm Uri proved that Texas is still at risk of freeze claims, despite being rare. Most property insurance policies cover pipe and water damage, but many residents struggle to receive sufficient compensation. If you have been denied a claim for pipe or water damage, don't accept it without a fight. The Lane Law Firm has extensive experience in helping property owners resolve insurance claims, so you can trust that we help property owners receive full compensation for damages. Contact us today for a consultation.
Tornado Damage
Tornadoes can cause serious damage, leaving Texas property owners devastated and unsure where to turn. While most insurance companies should cover damage sustained during a tornado, the unfortunate reality is that many will try everything to avoid a fair payout. Let our property insurance claims attorneys help you get paid what you're owed.
Property Insurance Claim Reviews

"The team at The Lane Law Firm were incredible! My home insurance company denied my claim for a new roof on 2 separate occasions. The Lane Law Firm was able to work with my insurance company until they finally agreed to pay my claim for a new roof. It was literally so easy from my end. No drives downtown. We were able to handle and discuss my case by phone or email. So simple and convenient! I highly recommend The Lane Law Firm if you experience denied claims with your insurance company"

"Our house was broken into and we felt like we were violated twice - first by the burglar and second by the insurance company who treated us as though we committed the crime! Many thanks to the whole crew at The Lane Law Firm who fought hard for us to recover every dollar of what was stolen from us. Without you guys we would have lost everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Our home got hit pretty hard by a hail storm - you could see little dents all over our shingles. Most of our neighbors got new roofs, but our insurance company said ours just needed to be patched up. Our roofing guy referred us to Ron and The Lane Law Firm. They fought our insurance company and got us a new roof as well as money to fix items we didn't even realize had damage, all without any money out of pocket!"
