Louisiana Insurance Law Attorneys

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005, homeowners, business owners, and others who suffered tremendous property loss in the storm faced a manmade disaster: the bad faith of insurance companies that failed to make good on insurance policies. Businesses that lost income have faced an uphill battle as they have struggled to recover, and to recoup compensation for their losses from insurers.

The Covington, Louisiana, law firm of Creighton, Richards & Higdon has gone to bat on behalf of businesses that were victims of both Hurricane Katrina (or other natural disasters or catastrophes) and insurance bad faith. To schedule a consultation on how to file Form 95 claims against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, contact Creighton, Richards & Higdon as soon as possible.

Business owners fully understand that their losses cannot be measured solely in terms of property damage. We pursue insurers for business income coverage in fulfillment of business-related insurance policies. We have both the business experience and the legal know-how to obtain and document credible estimates of business income losses.

Many people attempt to file Standard Form 95 (SF-95) with the Army Corps of Engineers on their own, without a lawyer. While this tactic may work in some cases, there are many potential pitfalls that can stymie a claim. Our experienced Louisiana insurance law lawyers of Creighton, Richards & Higdon represent businesses in negligence claims against the Army Corps of Engineers under the Federal Tort Claims Act.

To discuss any insurance claim or bad faith on the part of insurers with an insurance attorney in the Covington, Baton Rouge, and Metairie area, contact Creighton, Richards & Higdon. We work hard to get the job done right, with full awareness of the importance of our clients' bottom lines.
