FAQ
What steps should I take immediately after wind damage to my Louisiana home?
First, ensure everyone is safe and document all damage with photos and video before touching anything. Cover exposed areas with tarps to prevent further loss, save all receipts for emergency repairs, and notify your insurance carrier within 24–48 hours. Louisiana law requires insurers to acknowledge your claim within 30 days, so prompt reporting starts that clock in your favor.
How long does a Louisiana insurer have to pay out a wind damage claim?
Under Louisiana Revised Statute 22:1892, insurers must pay undisputed claims within 30 days of receiving satisfactory proof of loss. If they fail to do so, they may owe you an additional 50% penalty on the amount due plus reasonable attorney fees. Keeping thorough documentation and submitting a complete proof-of-loss form quickly is the best way to enforce this timeline.
