Media Coverage of Property Damage Claims

A lot of Evan’s property damage claims have made the news. See our YouTube page for some of those interviews.

Coverage Disputes

Your property is subject to natural disasters. Insurance companies should pay you for damage caused by a natural disaster, but sometimes they don’t. Sometimes it is easier for them to be a bully.

Without an attorney, the insurance company tells you what is what. Don’t let them.

As a former Hurricane Katrina litigator, Evan has experience dealing with insurance companies and property damage claims. Most property damage claims are coverage disputes.

Evan has handled property damage disputes involving homeowners, renters, and businesses. In one commercial property dispute, Evan secured a favorable decision from the Louisiana Supreme Court. His property damage experience allows him to make a coverage argument that is both forceful and convincing.
