Hurricane Ida Property Damage | Free Consultation
Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana on August 29, 2021. It “reached Category 4 strength and slammed into the marshy coast of Louisiana in the town of Port Fourchon. […] Ida took its time, spending 16 hours as a whirling hurricane before dropping to tropical storm strength [….]” (Accuweather)
Three weeks later, parts of Louisiana still did not have power, while many other states still dealt with Ida’s damages. “Estimates [suggest] that the impact across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama will total between $27 billion and $40 billion,” the vast majority of which was the result of damage from wind, storm surge, and inland flooding to residential and commercial properties. (CNBC)

Hurricane Ida Property Damage | Do I have a claim?
“In New Orleans […] Ida’s forceful winds left numerous buildings roofless and spewed debris throughout the city.” (Accuweather)
Hurricane Ida left a path of damage that impacted homes and businesses. Punishing winds, heavy rain, flooding, fallen trees and branches, telephone poles, flying debris-damaged windows, doors, fences, gates, roofs, and walls. In some areas, the damages even affected buildings’ structures, and, in extreme cases, whole buildings were destroyed.
Home and business owners with insurance should get the full amount necessary to repair their damages in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, but many insurance companies are giving their clients the runaround or simply refusing to pay.
These insurance companies have a legal obligation to pay the full amount owed to you. If they refuse to pay or give you the runaround, you need to hire experienced lawyers who will fight for you to get the maximum amount possible. The lawyers at Peiffer Wolf have your back.

Hurricane Ida Property Damage | Business Interruptions
“Business interruption insurance is insurance coverage that replaces business income lost in a disaster. The event could be, for example, a fire or a natural disaster. Business interruption insurance is not sold as a separate policy but is either added to a property/casualty policy or included in a comprehensive package policy as an add-on or rider.” (Investopedia)
Business owners were particularly impacted by Hurricane Ida. With extensive damages to their properties, mandatory evacuation orders, and, in many cases, no power for weeks, they must rely on insurance to cover for their lost income. According to FEMA, “About 25 percent of businesses do not reopen after disasters.”
In general, Business Interruption Insurance covers, among other things:
- Lost profits
- Fixed expenses
- Extra expenses
- Employees’ salaries
- Taxes and loans

Typically, we represent clients on contingency fee agreements. If we take your case under a contingency fee arrangement, you won’t owe our firm any legal fees unless we are able to recover money for you.
Our contingency fee agreements are usually based on a percentage of the amount we recover for our clients. The contingency fee amount is determined by the type of case, our estimate of how long it will take to resolve your case, and our estimate of the litigation costs we will advance in your case. Each engagement agreement includes the details of the fee arrangement. Questions about our fee agreements are welcomed and encouraged.
In most litigation matters, it is extremely difficult – practically impossible – to predict how long it will take to resolve a particular case. Every case is different, and we will do our best to provide you with an estimate based on your case and our experience with similar cases. Moreover, we will do our best to keep you updated and manage expectations along the way.
We handle cases that change lives. Contact us today for a FREE consultation.
