Public Insurance Adjuster in Corpus Christi, TX

When a hurricane makes landfall, the wind arrives before the surge. If wind opened the roof and rain destroyed the interior before water rose in the street, that interior damage is a windstorm loss. If the surge got there first, it is flood. Anti-concurrent causation clauses let a carrier deny the whole loss where covered and excluded perils combined, which is why this sequence gets fought over.

It is provable. High-water marks against the height of interior saturation, the direction of material failure, the debris line and the storm's recorded timeline over the address together establish the order of events. That evidence exists at the property for a short window before clean-up removes it.

Padre Island, Flour Bluff and the Ocean Drive bayfront typically require three policies working together: TWIA or equivalent for wind, NFIP or private flood for surge, and a homeowner policy for everything else. Each has different limits, different deductibles and different deadlines.

The failure mode is not usually that someone lacked coverage. It is that the three claims were filed and documented separately, weeks apart, by which point each carrier could point at the other two. One coordinated documentation effort at the outset is worth more than any amount of argument afterwards.
