10:02 pm Insurance: Three months since Hurricane Ike and homeowners are more confused than ever about their options for dealing with damage to their homes. They are bombarded with door to door salespeople, TV ads for Hurricane Ike attorneys and other advertising, and it all just seems to add to their confusion. Regrettably, this confusion is causing homeowners to lose millions of dollars on their claims because taking no action often seems a better choice to the homeowner than taking the wrong action. Homeowners just want to know the answer to “What should I do?”
“There are two problems for most homeowners with damage claims,” according to Don Sanders and Jose Jimenez, co-owners of Project Management Professionals in Houston. “The first problem is that most people think they have only two options—settle or sue. The second problem is that they are afraid that if they don’t accept what the insurance company offers, their insurance rates will go up dramatically, or worse, their policy will be canceled.”
