Hurricane Dolly claims were estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars for insured damages in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
Although Hurricane Dolly came ashore in an uninhabited area as a category 1 storm, the Rio Grande Valley was inundated with damaging wind and rain. Laguna Madre had 16 inches of rain, Rio Hondo reported 15, and Brownsville reported 9. The damage by Hurricane Dolly made it one of the costliest hurricanes of 2008 with flooding being the major cause of damage. Areas AffectedHurricane Dolly crossed Laguna Madre and headed inland across South Padre Island, Port Isabel, Laguna Vista, Bayview, Brownsville, San Benito, Rio Hondo, Arroyo City and Harlingen. These areas suffered heavy wind and severe flooding. If you were affected in one of these areas, have filed a claim for damage from Hurricane Dolly with your insurance company and were unjustly denied or only received a portion of the estimated damages, you should contact a Hurricane Dolly insurance attorney at Arnold & Itkin LLP.Types of ClaimsHurricane Dolly insurance claims consisted of homeowners claims for damage from wind, but also for flood damage. The insured needs to file a claim against their applicable insurance policy. It is possible to suffer a claim for damages due to both wind and flooding. Most homeowners policies only cover damage to contents and structures due to wind or fire. You should have a separate policy that specifically covers flooding if your area participates in the National Flood Insurance program. If you had flood insurance during Hurricane Dolly and you suffered flood damage, you are entitled to have your claim paid.Denied Hurricane Dolly ClaimsThere are several ways unethical insurance companies use to delay or avoid paying your claim. Claims may be denied outright as standard policy for the insurance company. The insurance company may delay sending out an adjuster or may not send one at all. Some insurance companies will only pay a small part of the estimated damages in hopes you won't bother to pursue the rest. These types of practices are called bad faith.
