Mobile Insurance Claim Dispute Attorney C. Bennett Long Discusses Steps Property Owners Should Take in Midst of Severe Alabama Weather

    MOBILE, AL, October 05, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- C. Bennett Long, principal attorney at personal injury law firm Long & Long, recently discussed ways home owners and business owners can protect the viability of their claim in the event of a severe weather event.

"In Alabama, September and October is still hurricane season," Long said, "And we are starting to experience severe rains and flooding as fall begins."

Mobile County was under a flash flood advisory Sunday evening, with Fox10 News in Mobile reporting that some areas had received more than six inches that night alone. Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center Wednesday upgraded Hurricane Joaquin into the third such storm of the 2015 hurricane season.

"After a storm, people just want to rebuild their homes, businesses and their lives," Long said. "Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always compensate policy holders fairly after a disaster, and they often look for any excuse to deny claims or pay out less than a claim is worth."

Long said that property owners should first make sure their insurance policy covers damage from natural disasters, including floods and hurricanes. In the event that an insurer denies a reasonable claim or delays payment, he said legal representation might be necessary to handle the dispute.

"At Long & Long, we have successfully handled nearly 4,000 insurance disputes on behalf of residential and commercial property owners," Long said. "If you're considering legal action against an insurance company, it is critical to find an experienced attorney who understands the complexities of insurance policies, has the resources to assess the damage to your home or business, and the ability to take prompt action to pursue the compensation you truly deserve."
