CBS 60 Minutes Exposes Alleged Insurance Company Fraud
On September 29, 2024, Merlin Law Group’s Steven Bush, Esq. appeared on 60 Minutes to discuss the challenges homeowners faced after Hurricane Ian. The investigation uncovered troubling practices where altered damage reports led to lower insurance payouts, leaving policyholders without the resources needed to rebuild. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, this conversation is more critical than ever.
Dealing with Hurricane Helene's Aftermath
Hurricane Helene, like Katrina and Harvey before it, will be remembered for its devastating impact on lives and properties.
In the wake of Helene:
Severe Damage: Countless homes and businesses have suffered extensive damage, highlighting the urgent need for fair and accurate insurance claim payouts.
Claim Challenges: Many victims will face complex claim processes, with some encountering denials or underpayments from insurers.
Forecast Warnings: With the ongoing hurricane season predicted to be above normal, further challenges may arise even as the season comes to a close.1
If your home was damaged or destroyed by Helene, not getting the money you need from your insurer to cover repairs can feel like a second disaster. Few experiences are more frustrating and distressing than finding out your claim has been denied, or that it will take months to get your payments while you’re attempting to rebuild.
