A LONG FIGHT ENDS IN A HARD-EARNED VICTORY Faith and Persistence Lead to Orange County Church Finally Finding Justice
A small church in Orange, Texas, was finally paid for its Hurricane Laura insurance claim more than 4 years after the fact. The church was hit hard by the hurricane. It sustained severe damage to its roofing system, causing water to enter throughout the interior. Multiple ceilings collapsed. The sign outside was completely destroyed. Within days, the church had retained a roofer to tarp the roof and protect the property. Then they presented their claim to the insurer. Notwithstanding the clear damage to the church, both on the outside and the inside, the insurance company dragged its feet in paying the church for its losses. The first insurance adjuster recommended that the church be paid $77,699.67. But the insurance company didn’t even follow the advice of the adjuster it hired. Instead, the insurance company waited months and made a smaller payment to the church. The church made do with what they received, but were forced to use their own funds to make repairs. They scraped together the money for a new roof, and for the last few years, held services in the building’s small kitchen. Then they hired the Brasher Law Firm to get what they were owed on this claim.
Brasher Law Firm hired a team of experts to support the church’s claims, including meteorologists, engineers, claims handling experts, and independent estimators. Even in litigation, the insurance company delayed the case as much as it could.
In fact, the insurance company fought Brasher Law Firm and the church all the way through an appeal, just to delay the case and continue the trial setting. After multiple depositions, motion practice, and an exhaustive review of every document produced (about 1,500 pages of discovery documents), through the efforts of the Brasher Law Firm, the church is finally receiving the money it deserved. Because of the insurance company’s aggressive litigation tactics, the Brasher Law Firm spent more than 475 hours pursuing the church’s claims!
In the end, Brasher Law Firm obtained a favorable six-figure settlement for the church, allowing it to complete all storm-related repairs and pay its attorneys’ fees and expenses in full.
