Friends,

Hurricane season starts Monday.

We hear so much about preparedness and to have things like canned food, batteries, evacuation plans in order, etc.

But this is also the time to check your homeowners’ policy to ensure you have the coverage you need.

Read through it and consider things like:

- Are the Coverage A limits enough to repair my home?

- Are the Coverage B limits adequate to repair my fencing/sheds/poolhouses?

- Are there coinsurance provisions that will penalize me if my limits are not adequate to rebuild?

- Do I have sublimits for things such as electronics, jewelry, or other items of personal property?

- What is my deductible for a named storm? Is it too high? (They usually range from 2% to 5% of your *limits*, not the amount of your loss)

These are just a few of the questions you should consider.

If you’re concerned about the answer, you can reach out to your agent or insurer directly.

As someone who has seen plenty of folks learn of coverage deficiencies AFTER a loss when little can be done, I can assure you that the best time to review your coverages was yesterday. The next best time is now.

Let’s all hope for a quiet hurricane season and that these discussions are conceptual only. But you most certainly want to be prepared in the event it is not.

GULF UPDATE - Computer models are locked in on Invest 93L making landfall in Louisiana between Thursday and Friday. At this point, I expect it to remain relatively weak, with the ceiling being a tropical storm. Whether or not it develops into Tropical Storm Dexter, the primary concern will be heavy rainfall and flooding. This system might have a somewhat lopsided structure, with most of the heavier rain bands focused on the southern side. We’ve seen similar setups in the past, like Tropical Storm Edouard in 2008 and Barry in 2019, which followed comparable tracks and had a similar look. Stay tuned!

As a personal injury attorney, it is my job to paint a picture for a judge or jury of the debilitating pain that my client has endured as a result of an accident.

For those of us lucky enough to have not previously experienced it, debilitating pain can be a bit of an amorphous concept. And, while we can do our best to articulate it, we never fully understand it because we have never experienced it.

Well, earlier this year, I got the “opportunity” to better understand the pain my clients experience when I went flying over the handlebars on my bicycle. I broke my right arm and dislocated my wrist. Everyone on my care team has at some point remarked about how bad my injury was.

The last 7+ weeks have been filled with so many things my clients have also had to endure in their lives: surgery, complications, pain medications, incapacity, inability to sleep, and pain at levels never before experienced.

It has not been fun. And I still have a long way to go to recover.

But I’m a “half-full guy,” so I also know that this experience will make me an even better advocate for my clients in the future. And I look forward to using this experience to better serve the people who place their trust in me.
