Holding Insurers Accountable. Protecting What Matters Most.
When disaster strikes, your insurance policy should serve as a safety net — not another obstacle. Yet far too often, policyholders across the Gulf Coast find themselves battling their own insurance companies through denied claims, underpaid settlements, or unreasonable delays.
At Bloom Legal Network, we stand firmly on the side of policyholders. We help individuals, families, and business owners recover the insurance benefits they are rightfully owed, particularly after hurricanes and other catastrophic events. Our attorneys are highly experienced in disaster and hurricane litigation, representing policyholders across storm-prone states including Louisiana, Texas, and Florida.
Whether you are dealing with hurricane damage, flood losses, business interruption, or a denied property claim, our insurance coverage attorneys are here to advocate for your recovery. From Metairie to New Orleans, we understand state-specific insurance laws and how to make them work for you.
We do not represent insurance companies. We fight for policyholders — the people and businesses who paid their premiums and deserve full and fair coverage.
Our Commitment to Policyholders — Especially After the Storm
At Bloom Legal Network, our mission is simple: hold insurance companies accountable and help clients recover the benefits they paid for.

Our insurance claim attorneys represent policyholders in:
• Hurricane damage insurance claims
• Residential property damage claims
• Commercial property and business interruption claims
• Flood and windstorm claims

Hurricane Damage Insurance Claims
Protecting Homeowners and Businesses After the Storm
The Gulf Coast is no stranger to hurricanes, tropical storms, and flooding. When your property is damaged, insurance coverage should provide relief — not resistance.
Our attorneys are deeply experienced in hurricane insurance claims involving:
• Roof damage and structural failure
• Mold growth and water intrusion
• Interior destruction and inventory loss
• Additional Living Expenses (ALE)
• Wind vs. flood disputes
We carefully analyze policy language, document the full scope of damage, and support claims with expert reports and evidence. When insurers act in bad faith, we pursue additional damages under applicable state law.

We help ensure your claim is not delayed, undervalued, or unfairly denied — especially when multiple storms or prior damage are used as excuses to reduce payouts.
Hurricane Season, Storm History & Claim Timing
Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, with peak activity from mid-August through October. Insurers frequently attempt to attribute damage to prior storms in order to limit coverage. Understanding storm timelines is critical to proving when damage occurred.
H3: Major Storms Impacting Louisiana
• Hurricane Betsy (1965)
• Hurricane Camille (1969)

• The Great Louisiana Flood (2016)
• Hurricane Laura (2020)
• Hurricane Delta (2020)
• Hurricane Zeta (2020)
• Hurricane Ida (2021)
If your claim involves damage tied to any of these events, we help document timelines, isolate storm-specific losses, and prevent insurers from unfairly reducing payouts due to overlapping disasters.
Bad Faith Insurance Practices — Know Your Rights
Under Louisiana Revised Statutes §§ 22:1973 and 22:1892, insurance companies owe policyholders a duty of good faith and fair dealing. When insurers violate that duty, they may be liable for penalties and attorney’s fees.
Common signs of bad faith include:
• Delaying claims beyond statutory deadlines
• Denying coverage without reasonable justification
• Underestimating repair or replacement costs
• Failing to properly investigate damage
• Misinterpreting policy language against the insured
When insurers cross the line, we are prepared to file suit and pursue full compensation — including penalties.
Commercial Insurance & Business Interruption Claims
Disasters do not just damage buildings — they disrupt livelihoods. A denied or underpaid commercial claim can threaten the survival of a business.
We represent business owners in claims involving:
• Business income loss
• Property damage from hurricanes or floods
• Fire, vandalism, or theft
• Denials of repair or replacement coverage
• Business interruption disputes
Our team reviews complex commercial policies, identifies coverage gaps, and develops strategies to maximize recovery while minimizing long-term impact.

FAQs – Insurance Coverage Litigation
“Bad faith” in Louisiana refers to an insurance company’s unreasonable or unwarranted actions (or inaction) in handling a policyholder’s claim. Louisiana Revised Statutes 22:1973 and 22:1892 define specific acts that can constitute bad faith, such as misrepresenting policy provisions, failing to pay a settlement within 30 days of an agreement, denying coverage without a reasonable basis, or failing to pay a claim within 60 days of satisfactory proof of loss without probable cause. If an insurer acts in bad faith, you may be entitled to additional damages and penalties beyond your original claim amount.
Immediately after property damage, prioritize safety. Then, document everything: take extensive photos and videos of the damage before any cleanup. Make temporary, reasonable repairs to prevent further damage (e.g., tarping a roof), and keep all receipts. Notify your insurance company promptly, usually within a few days. Do not dispose of damaged property until it has been inspected or documented. Be cautious about signing anything that releases your rights before understanding its implications. It’s often advisable to contact an insurance coverage attorney early in the process, especially for significant damage.
It depends on your specific commercial property insurance policy. Many policies include Business Interruption (BI) insurance or Business Income coverage, which is designed to replace lost income and cover ongoing operating expenses when your business is forced to close or reduce operations due to a covered peril (like hurricane damage). However, these policies often have specific triggers, exclusions (e.g., for flood if not explicitly covered), and calculation methods. If your business is suffering losses, it’s crucial to review your policy and consult with an attorney experienced in business interruption claims to understand your rights and accurately calculate your losses.
This is a very common and frustrating scenario in Louisiana, particularly after hurricanes, as wind damage is covered by homeowner’s insurance while flood damage typically requires a separate flood insurance policy (often through the NFIP). Insurers may dispute the cause of damage to minimize their payout. Your options include: 1) Thoroughly reviewing your policy to understand definitions and exclusions; 2) Gathering evidence that supports wind damage (e.g., eyewitness accounts, expert reports on waterlines, structural damage patterns); 3) Appealing the denial with your insurer; and 4) If necessary, filing a bad faith lawsuit against your homeowner’s insurer. An experienced insurance dispute attorney can help you challenge the insurer’s determination and prove the true cause and extent of your losses.
