Check out this article in this week's Lagniappe, which addresses the pest control industry's shift to less protective "retreat only" termite bonds. These contracts can reduce protections offered to home and business owners in the event their structure experiences termite damage. If you have any questions regarding your legal rights upon discovering a live infestation and/or termite damage in your home or commercial building, contact The Seawell Firm, LLC, at 251-434-5012 or email Henry at [email protected]. Act now to protect your most valuable asset.

Homeowners on the Alabama Gulf Coast face skyrocketing rates for termite bonds and fewer guarantees as pest control companies scale back coverage in the area.

Just a reminder, the annual termite swarm is fast approaching. Typically, around Mother's Day, winged termites leave their nests to start new colonies. If you see these insects coming out of your wall, ceiling or window frames, you may have a termite infestation. Report any activity to your pest control company and call The Seawell Firm at (251) 434-5012 to discuss your legal rights.

Termites escape from underground and infest your home or business through shelter tubes. This highway system enables the termites to remain protected above ground while maximizing the efficiency of their travels. If you see shelter tubes running up your foundation, exterior, or interior walls, there is a good chance you are dealing with live activity. Call The Seawell Firm at 251-434-5012 to discuss your rights.

Home, business and condominium owners purchase insurance to protect their most valuable assets from catastrophic damage during natural disasters. Unfortunately, you cannot always rely upon your insurance company to make you whole in the aftermath of a storm. Two scenarios of concern generally arise when a claim for hurricane damage is made with your insurance company.

1.) Your insurance carrier will agree to cover the claim, but will exclude items that should be included or significantly undervalue the claim. The insurance companies’ adjusters, while well-intentioned, will often assign the value of the claim at a figure that does not make the home, condominium or business owner whole. It is prudent for a claimant to have an independent adjuster or attorney review the claim prior to accepting payment and signing a release of your rights.

2.) Was the damage caused by wind or flood waters? A typical home or business policy will only cover wind damage and flood insurance must be purchased separately through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurance carrier. If the home or business owner does not have flood insurance, a determination by their carrier that the damage was caused by storm surge or other flood waters can result in a denial. An independent review of that denial may help establish that the claim was caused, in whole or in part, by wind, thereby making the claim compensable.

If you own a home, condominium or business that was impacted by Hurricane Sally and feel as though you are not being fully compensated or your claim is being improperly denied, The Seawell Firm, LLC, stands ready to review your claim and determine if you are entitled to additional compensation. In these difficult times, do not let your insurance company unfairly deny or minimize your claim.
