Proven Hurricane Damage Attorneys Serving Austin
While Austin sits hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean, the city remains vulnerable to hurricane activity that can cause major property damage. From Hurricane Beryl's 2024 impact, which left millions without power, to Hurricane Harvey's devastating rainfall, Central Texas residents have seen firsthand how these powerful storms can reach far beyond the coast.
Since 1980, hurricanes have caused over $1.5 trillion in damage nationwide, yet nearly half of all residential claims have been denied by insurers in recent years.

Our capable hurricane and tornado damage attorneys in Austin handle a wide range of property damage claims resulting from severe weather impacts.
Hurricane winds and severe storms frequently cause roof damage in Austin, from missing shingles to structural compromises that lead to water infiltration. These powerful winds can also shatter windows, damage siding, and destroy outdoor structures like fences and carports.
Our hurricane damage lawyers assist property owners in recovering full compensation for wind-related destruction.
Austin's location in tornado-prone Central Texas means that residents face threats from devastating storms that can cause extensive property destruction.
Tornadoes can cause catastrophic structural damage, with rotating winds exceeding 200 mph and vast debris fields affecting multiple properties. Our tornado damage attorneys work to pursue maximum recovery in these complex insurance cases.
Storm-related flooding is one of the most costly types of property damage in Austin. Heavy rainfall can cause flash flooding that destroys foundations, electrical systems, and personal belongings throughout Central Texas properties. We help clients handle complex insurance coverage issues to maximize their recovery.
Austin's urban forest is vulnerable to storm damage when severe weather affects the area. Falling trees can puncture roofs, crush vehicles, and damage neighboring properties. Our property damage attorneys help homeowners secure funds for tree damage and debris removal costs.
Extended power outages following major storms often result in significant secondary impacts that insurance companies attempt to downplay. Spoiled food, damaged electronics, and increased living expenses during outages can add up to thousands of dollars. Our storm damage lawyers regularly aid clients seeking payouts for power outage-related losses.
Storm damage to vehicles commonly occurs due to falling trees, flying debris, and flood waters that wreak havoc on engines and electrical systems. Similarly, hail can cause comprehensive body damage requiring expensive repairs or total replacement. Our legal team will work with you to pursue fair compensation for your storm-related automotive losses.
Hurricane damage can be devastating, but you don't have to face the insurance companies alone. Our seasoned hurricane damage lawyers in Austin have the knowledge and determination to fight for every dollar you're owed. Contact us today for a free consultation.
While Austin is situated approximately 200 miles from the Gulf Coast, the city nonetheless remains susceptible to hurricane impacts through several different pathways.
Austin's official Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HMAP) identifies hurricanes as one of the potential natural hazards that threaten the city.
When major hurricanes make landfall along the Texas coast, their effects are often felt well inland, bringing high winds that damage roofs and structures, heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding, power outages that affect hundreds of thousands, and debris from uprooted trees.
Austin has experienced significant impacts from major hurricanes in the past, including Hurricane Ike in 2008, which caused destructive winds and protracted power outages across Central Texas.
In 2017, Hurricane Harvey brought substantial rainfall and flooding to the metro area. More recently, in 2024, Hurricane Beryl resulted in disaster proclamations and widespread property damage in Austin County.
In May 2025, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted 13–19 named storms during hurricane season, which lasts from June to November, with experts warning of a 70% chance that a named storm hits Texas. This alarmingly high probability means Austin residents should take hurricane preparedness and proper insurance coverage seriously.
Proper insurance coverage is vital for Austin property owners, as hurricane damage can result in life-altering physical and financial losses. Understanding what your policy covers — and what it doesn't — is necessary to ensure adequate protection.
Most homeowners' insurance policies in Texas cover hurricane-related wind damage, including:
One critical gap in standard homeowners insurance is flood coverage. Standard home insurance covers some damage from hurricanes but not flood damage, meaning separate flood insurance is typically required. FEMA reports that just one inch of floodwater can cause up to $25,000 in damage.
Austin business owners should ensure that their commercial insurance policies include the following:
Many insurance policies in Texas include special hurricane deductibles, which are typically higher than standard deductibles and may be calculated as a percentage of a home's insured value rather than a flat dollar amount.
If a hurricane has damaged your property, time is of the essence. Here's what you should do:
Insurance companies have teams of lawyers and adjusters working to minimize what they pay out. You deserve dedicated legal representation for your interests. The skilled Austin hurricane damage lawyers at Omar Ochoa Law Firm offer free consultations to evaluate your case and explain your legal options.
When hurricane damage strikes your Austin property, our accomplished legal team can provide comprehensive support throughout the claims process. Here are some of the ways we can assist you:
We work with qualified professionals to conduct thorough property inspections and document all visible and hidden damage before it gets worse. Our legal professionals can coordinate with trusted contractors to provide accurate repair estimates that support your insurance claim.
We’ll carefully review your insurance policy to identify all applicable coverage types and make sure you're claiming every available benefit. Our team will handle all aspects of your claim, from preparing documentation to communicating with adjusters and negotiating a fair settlement amount.
Insurance companies often employ dubious tactics like unreasonable delays, unfair denials, and lowball offers to minimize payouts. We’ll protect you from these bad faith practices and pressure tactics while fighting for the full compensation you deserve under your policy terms.
If your insurer refuses to honor your policy, we're prepared to take your case to court. Our trial experience includes filing lawsuits against uncooperative insurers, presenting compelling evidence to juries, and pursuing maximum compensation under Texas law.
When representing Austin business owners, we help recover lost revenue during closure periods, fixed expenses that continue despite closure, and extra costs to maintain operations elsewhere. Our lawyers understand the unique challenges businesses face after hurricanes and work to mitigate financial losses.

Many homeowners' insurance policies cover wind damage from hurricanes, but separate flood insurance is typically required for flood damage. Review your policy carefully and consult an attorney to understand your specific coverage.
While it's best to report claims immediately after damage occurs, you may have up to two years from the date of damage to file a lawsuit against your insurance company. However, your policy may require prompt notice of claims, so it’s best not to delay.
A denial isn’t the end of the road. Our attorneys can review the denial notice, challenge improper decisions, and take legal action if necessary. Many denied claims are ultimately paid after legal intervention.
Although you have the right to manage your own claim, insurance companies have experienced adjusters and lawyers working to limit how much they pay out. Hiring an attorney levels the playing field and could result in significantly greater compensation.
Depending on your policy and the extent of the damage, you may be repaid for property repairs, personal property replacement, additional living expenses, business interruption losses, and other covered damages.
The attorneys at Omar Ochoa Law Firm work on a contingency basis, meaning you won’t pay any fees unless we resolve your case successfully. This allows you to access reliable legal representation without upfront costs.
