About the Episode

LifeBlood: We talked about how the experience of hurricane Katrina changed so many lives and brought us together as a country.  How dropping everything and moving to New Orleans to help with the relief effort motivated a career change.  How the relief effort led to many positive structural changes for the community and created a new network of support and how an experience with a widow motivated him to make the switch from representing the insurance company to representing the policyholder.  

The partnership in 1996 that created a negative trend in the way insurance companies handle and ultimately pay claims and the ripple effects still present today, and how to identify when it could be happening to you.  

How the vast majority of claims paid by insurance companies are not fair, what a “fair” claim means, the purpose and use of deductibles,  and the laws in place to protect consumers and how they sometimes have the opposite impact with Galen Hair, Attorney and owner of Insurance Claim HQ, a firm fighting for the rights of policyholders who have experienced a loss due to fire, flood, hurricanes or the insurance company not keeping their word.  

Listen to learn why it could make sense to work with expert counsel as early in the insurance claims process as possible!
