There is no dollar amount that can be placed on the personal value of your home and its contents to you and your family.

When your home is destroyed due to a storm or fire, the loss is much more than just the brick and mortar of the home. There are tangibles such as personal property, family heirlooms and other memorabilia, and the intangibles of all the memories that you and your family share.

Our practice in the area of homeowner and third party claims includes fire and smoke damage claims, hurricane and storm claims, water, flood, mold, stucco claims, sinkhole claims, construction defects, business interruption and bad faith.

Any loss that involves your home, and more importantly your inability to live in the home due to some damages or other catastrophe means that your family may be displaced from the home while claims are settled and repairs made, or in extreme cases, the home demolished, rebuilt or your family having to move. Insurance companies will try to intimidate you and treat your unfairly.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1498229445232{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Why Choose Us” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:26px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:32px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][info_list style=”hexagon” icon_bg_color=”#bf2233″ icon_color=”#ffffff” font_size_icon=”20″ eg_br_width=”1″ connector_color=”#ffb536″ css_info_list=”.vc_custom_1523040270982{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][info_list_item list_title=”1.

Their goal is to minimize their exposure which results in their insured not receiving a fair settlement for their damages, inconvenience and losses. They start working immediately on investigating the cause of your claim, what happened, how it happened and they try to reduce their exposure by finding a way to somehow hold you responsible for any part of the loss, even though you and your family are the victims.

Going through this experience is devastating, and feeling like you are being victimized again by your own insurance company refusing to treat you fairly and provide the coverage you paid for with your premium payments is just unfair to you.

Our goal is to level the playing field and provide you with the expertise and representation to make sure you receive the compensation that you and your family deserve.

As homeowners, we purchase insurance coverage for the specific purpose of making sure that if a devastating event or catastrophe occurs that jeopardizes your home and the safety of your family. We consider it a travesty of justice when an insurance company tries to avoid responsibility for paying out a claim for an insured who has sustained damages through no fault of their own.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Who Should I Call?” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:26px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:32px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]If you are a homeowner and have suffered damage to your home, your insurance company should afford you coverage to under your policy to repair the damage. If your insurance company is denying coverage, we can help. We will review your insurance contract to determine what your insurer is obligated to pay.  If your carrier is obligated to pay under the terms of your policy and refuses to do so, we will pursue a claim in your behalf for all the compensation that you are entitled to receive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Frequency Asked Questions

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a valid personal injury claim. We offer free consultations where our experienced attorneys will assess your case, explain your legal options, and help determine if you’re entitled to compensation for your injuries.

At The Reyes Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. This ensures that all individuals, regardless of their financial situation, have access to high-quality legal representation.

The time you have to file a personal injury claim varies depending on the state and the type of case. Generally, it’s important to act quickly, as most personal injury claims have a statute of limitations. Contact us as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the required time frame.

If you’re involved in a car accident, make sure to get medical treatment for any injuries, no matter how minor they may seem. Collect contact and insurance information from the other driver, and gather evidence from the scene, such as photos and witness statements.

Then, contact The Reyes Firm for a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

It’s essential to act quickly when pursuing a personal injury claim because many cases have a statute of limitations, or a deadline for filing. However, even if some time has passed since the injury, you may still be able to file a claim depending on your situation.

Contact The Reyes Firm to discuss your case and find out if you’re still within the time limit to take legal action.

The amount of compensation you can receive depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and emotional distress. During your free consultation, our attorneys will evaluate your case and provide a realistic estimate of what you may be entitled to.

Yes, it’s highly recommended to have an attorney when dealing with insurance companies. Insurance companies often try to offer low settlements or deny claims altogether. The Reyes Firm’s experienced attorneys will ensure your rights are protected, negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Yes, you can still file a personal injury claim even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility. In many states, comparative negligence laws allow you to recover damages, even if you share some degree of fault. Our attorneys can help you navigate this complex legal issue and maximize your compensation.

The duration of a personal injury case varies depending on factors like the complexity of the case, the willingness of the insurance company to settle, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases may settle within a few months, while others can take a year or more. The Reyes Firm will work diligently to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring your best interests are served.

A contingency fee is a payment arrangement where our firm only gets paid if we win your case. This means there are no upfront costs for you. We take a percentage of the settlement or judgment, and if we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything. This ensures you can access legal representation without financial risk.
