The 2013 Hurricane Season is predicted to cause a substantial increase in Gulf of Mexico activity this year.  Published on April 10, 2013, the Colorado State University Department of Atmospheric Science predicts an even chance (almost 50%) of at least one major  hurricane (category 3-4-5) making landfall in the Gulf of Mexico.  The average for the last century is 30%.  They further estimate that 2013 will have 9 named hurricanes and 18 named storms.  These figures exceed the median for  the typical season.

The Law Firm of Fountain, Bruce & Mellencamp, PLLC is pleased to announce it’s Second Annual Seminar on Hurricane Claims and Other Storm Claims. It is presently set to take place August 15, 2013 at the Woodlands Chamber of  Commerce.  This seminar is designed for the residential and business owners who desire to understand the insurance claims process.  It will help the insurance consumer to be able to better document, preserve, and present their claim to the insurer.  The seminar will allow one to expedite the claim at a time when all insurers resources are stretched to the limit in a catastrophe environment. The seminar is not intended to encourage litigation, which is expensive, takes many months and even years to complete, with no guarantee of success.  The seminar instead takes a practical approach to the process including an explanation of typical and germane insurance clauses as well as the types of evidence of loss usually requested by insurers.  A typical claim is examined from start to finish so you may predict the process, including the need to interact with and hire contractors for repair, what the claims adjuster looks for and where, what may or may not be covered (depending on your policy), and even recommendations as to the type of policy you may wish to consider for what is undoubtedly one of the major, if not the major investment of your family; your home or business.
