Expected to make landfall this weekend, Hurricane Irene is poised to be the first major hurricane to hit the U.S. since 2008. "After a couple of storm seasons with relatively low activity, it's easy for us that live along the coast to become complacent," says Houston attorney Phillip Sanov of The Lanier Law Firm, who represents home and business owners with property damage from storms and natural disasters. "We all know to stockpile water and board up windows, but other simple steps can make sure potential insurance claims are less of a headache." Sanov recommends that property owners take photos and videos of their structures and belongings, and confirm that they have enough insurance coverage to replace anything that is lost or damaged. "Taking a few precautions now certainly will help smooth the insurance claims process once the storm clears." For more information, contact Alan Bentrup at 800-559-4534 or alan@androvett.com.
