Delay. Deny. Defend. The Insurance Claim Tactics Every Texas Homeowner Should Know

When disaster hits your home or business, you expect your insurance company to step in and help you recover.

After all — you’ve paid your premiums faithfully.

But many Texas homeowners quickly discover something troubling:

Insurance companies don’t make money by paying claims quickly. They protect profits by controlling payouts.

And that often comes at your expense.

The Reality Behind Insurance Claims in Texas

Across Dallas and throughout Texas, policyholders are facing:

• Long claim delays

• Partial payments

• Confusing denial letters

• Pressure to accept low settlements

• Endless requests for documentation

Meanwhile, homes sit damaged. Contractors wait to be paid. Families live in uncertainty.

This isn’t an accident.

It’s a system.

The Insurance Strategy: Delay. Deny. Defend.

1. Delay

Weeks turn into months.

Adjusters rotate. Inspections get rescheduled. Emails go unanswered.

The longer a claim drags out, the more pressure the policyholder feels to settle.

2. Deny

Claims are denied using technical policy language such as:

• “Wear and tear”

• “Pre-existing damage”

• “Exclusion applies”

• “Below deductible”

Many valid claims are initially denied — not because they aren’t covered, but because they weren’t properly documented or presented.

3. Defend

When a homeowner pushes back, insurers may:

• Bring in engineering reports

• Request recorded statements

• Hire outside consultants

• Reduce scope of damage

• Argue pricing

Their goal is simple: minimize payout exposure.

Who Really Pays the Price?

While insurance companies protect their bottom line, the financial burden shifts to:

• Homeowners paying out of pocket

• Business owners losing income

• Contractors absorbing costs

• Families displaced from their homes

Your policy was meant to protect you — not create another battle.

Why Insurance Settlements Are Often Too Low

Many initial offers fail to include:

• Full material and labor costs

• Code upgrade requirements

• Hidden water or smoke damage

• Overhead and profit

• Additional Living Expenses (ALE)

• Business interruption losses

Most policyholders don’t realize they have the right to dispute these amounts.

And they don’t have to fight alone.
