Flood Task Force

Floods are a common cause of property damage in the United States, causing billions of dollars in claims in the last decade. Because of the complicated nature of these claims, recovery can be difficult and time consuming. Drawing on our extensive experience in flood loss matters, we have created a Flood Task Force to enable a group of our attorneys to concentrate their practice on these losses, and help our clients through these rough waters. We work with experts throughout the United States and understand the need for a well-organized approach to handle these losses, maximizing your recovery. We have handled numerous flood matters, and our attorneys have been exposed to different defenses and arguments in all jurisdictions. We have the experience and knowledge necessary to successfully prosecute your case for your maximum benefit.

We provide the necessary know-how and coordinate with your claims personnel and forensic experts to ensure that the claim is managed the right way from the outset, which will significantly increase your recovery ratios. Our team is able to direct all phases of a flood claim matter from investigating the scene to determine both the source of water and cause of flooding, to establishing the ultimate responsible parties. Our team is available to our clients night and day to handle any flood related issues whenever they may arise.
