FROM DENIAL TO VICTORY How We Triumphed Over Adversity in a Bad Faith Insurance Case
two years when the devastating Hurricane Laura swept through our area. The storm left a trail of destruction, including significant damage to our clients’ home. Within two weeks of the hurricane, their insurance company conducted an inspection. Despite the recent catastrophic weather event, their insurer concluded that the damage to the roof was due to “wear and tear,” not the storm. This is despite the insurer’s determination that the roof was in good condition only two years prior. The insurer claimed the damage to the home was under the deductible and denied our clients’ claim. This is when our team stepped in. We believed in our clients and knew they deserved better. Our associate attorney, Brooke Wilhelm, took charge of the case. Brooke’s tenacity and expertise were instrumental in turning the tide in our clients’ favor. After an unsuccessful mediation in December of 2022, our clients stayed patient with us as Brooke retained an additional roofing expert and continued to prepare the case as if it were going to trial. Six months later, the parties agreed to a second mediation, and because we stayed the course and fought hard for our position, we were able to add value to the case and reach a fair resolution! After a hard-fought battle, we are thrilled to announce that we settled a zero-pay case for over $400,000. This settlement is a testament to our unwavering dedication to advocating for our clients and our expertise in navigating insurance disputes. We continue fighting for those affected by Hurricane Laura and other natural disasters, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.
BREAK TAKE A In 2018, our clients, whom we will call Richard and Cassandra Smith, purchased their dream home. As part of the insuring process, an underwriting inspection was conducted, which found the roof to be in good condition with no known issues. Fast forward In the face of adversity, Brasher Law Firm is a beacon of hope for those who feel wronged. We are proud to share one of our recent success stories that underscore our commitment to justice and our expertise in bad faith insurance law.
