Understanding Homeowner's Insurance: The Statistics

Before delving into how our law firm can assist you, it's important to grasp the current landscape of homeowners insurance claims. On average, about 3% of insured homes file a claim each year, with property damage claims accounting for 97% of these filings. The average payout for such claims stands at $14,935, highlighting the significant financial relief insurance can provide in times of need.

Geographically, the cost of homeowners insurance varies significantly, with states like Florida, Oklahoma, and Louisiana facing premiums well above the national average, largely due to the higher risk of natural disasters in these areas. Conversely, states such as Oregon, Wisconsin, and Utah enjoy much lower premiums.

Despite the protection offered, the process from filing a claim to receiving compensation can stretch from weeks to months, with the average homeowner filing a claim roughly once every decade. This protracted process can be frustrating and, at times, unjust, particularly when claims are unfairly denied or underpaid.
