Although tornadoes may not be as common in the Gulf South states as opposed to the Midwestern states, when they do occur, it has the potential to cause abrupt and catastrophic property loss. Tornadoes can cause major damage to homes, businesses, contents, and vehicles. This ordeal is even worse when you have to deal with an insurance company that does not want to pay for the full extent of the damages. Our Louisiana tornado damage claim lawyers are focused on helping you get back on your feet and collecting the FAIR amount you are owed after a tornado touches down in your area.
Property Damage Caused by a Tornado
Tornadoes vary in intensity regardless of shape, size, and location. They can leave complete devastation in their wake. Tornado damage may be covered under general homeowners, commercial, or vehicle insurance policies. We recommend you evaluate your policy to determine exactly what you are covered for and if you need to adjust it.
Depending on the type of tornado that hits an area, the types of damage incurred can vary dramatically. For example, an F3 tornado can have wind speeds of up to 112 mph, which is strong enough to overturn cars and mobile homes, as well as tear the roof of houses and uproot trees. On the other hand, tornadoes designated as F0 and F1 do very little damage but may result in broken tree limbs, damaged signs, or blown-off shingles. Even if you manage to escape the tornado and its aggressive winds, returning to your home or business afterward to find it severely damaged or gone completely can be incredibly devastating.
