Hurricane Beryl: One Year Later – What Texas Property Owners Have Learned

Southeast Texas received a direct hit from Hurricane Beryl on the morning of July 8, 2024. Communities along the Gulf Coast and well into the interior of the state saw extreme winds and excessive rains. Billions of dollars in property damages ensued.  Along with the storm came property owners filing claims for damaged or destroyed property. When many of those claims were rejected or underpaid, frustration began to mount. Being treated unfairly by an insurance company only served to add insult to injury in the Lone Star State.

What You Need to Know About Hurricane Beryl Insurance Claims

Although it was predicted to make landfall along the Texas coast as a dangerous storm, Hurricane Beryl exceeded the expectation of every meteorologist who offered a prediction as to its strength. Maximum wind velocities as well as the total amount of rain produced were both underestimated. What Texans were left with was a reality that defied comprehension. Howling winds, power outages, and flash flooding marked the landfall and aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.  Many businesses were forced to close until their property could be restored.  

The vast majority of property owners are required to maintain a property insurance policy. These property insurance policies are intended to help ease the burden of rebuilding after a destructive storm like Hurricane Beryl. However, insurance companies can be incredibly fickle when it comes to determining which claims to pay and which ones to ignore. Finding yourself on the outside looking in when it comes to your insurance claim is undesirable. Rather, peace of mind when it comes to filing a claim goes a long way- especially after a natural disaster.
