FAQ
How long do I have to file a hail damage claim in Louisiana?
Louisiana law gives homeowners up to three years from the date of loss to file a property insurance claim, but most insurers require you to report damage 'promptly' — ideally within 30 to 60 days. The sooner you file after a hailstorm, the easier it is to connect the damage to that specific weather event using storm data records.
What documentation do I need before the adjuster arrives for a hail claim in Louisiana?
Before your adjuster visit, photograph every area of damage from multiple angles, document the storm date using a local weather report or NOAA hail log, collect any previous inspection reports to establish a pre-loss baseline, and get a written estimate from a licensed Louisiana roofing contractor. Having a public adjuster or contractor present during the insurance adjuster's inspection can also help ensure no damage is overlooked.
