Hurricane Katrina Lawyer John W. Houghtaling to Share Knowledge About Fighting Insurance Companies in the Wake of Hurricane Sandy

John Mitty Sunday, January 6, 2013

Long Beach, NY January 06, 2013

On Thursday, January 10th, 2013, insurance litigation specialist John W. Houghtaling will present crucial information that every home and business owner needs to know to protect themselves when filing a claim. Houghtaling has built a prominent career from battling insurance companies on behalf of home and business owners, and knows how they manipulate the system to the policy holders’ disadvantage.

Houghtaling, who recently spoke before residents of Huntington, NY and the Village of Freeport, NY, was invited to speak in Long Beach by attorney, homeowner, and former Long Beach City Council Member Denis G. Kelly. He will detail the important points every property owner should understand in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, including why property owners: (1) Are entitled to unconditional payments, (2) Should get an independent inspection, (3) Must take careful note of disaster chronology, (4) Need to know the 15/15 Day Rule, and (5) Have the option of asking for help untangling the insurance companies’ red tape.
