The Amaro Law Firm settled several residential hurricane lawsuits across Texas, including Galveston County, Jefferson County, and Harris County. These lawsuits included those in which the firm’s clients lost their homes or had their homes severely damaged by Hurricane Ike. At first, the insurance companies denied that the properties suffered damages from windstorm. Some insurance companies claimed that the property damages were a result of “flooding” and others claimed that the property damages were a result of the home “settling.” Even still, other insurance claimed that the roof or structure had inadequate repairs from prior windstorms such as Hurricane Rita. All of these defenses were disproved after years of aggressive litigation and settled for significant sums.
