The new law also doesn't ensure policyholders will have their attorney fees covered, only requiring that attorney fees be covered in full if the policyholder wins their case and is awarded at least 80% of the damages.</p><p>Though HB 1774 proponents Texans for Lawsuit Reform <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2017/05/16/bill-targets-weather-related-lawsuit-abuse-passes-senate/?utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner">argue</a> that the new law will protect consumers while curbing "abusive lawsuits that are jeopardizing the affordability and availability of property insurance across the state," others warn that the restrictions will ultimately hurt Texans by de-incentivizing insurance companies from paying on time to avoid a lawsuit.</p><p>"Under this new law, many insurance companies will pay property owners as little, as late as possible. Texans can expect only more delays and denials from the for-profit insurance industry," Ware Wendell, executive director of consumer rights group Texas Watch, said in a statement quoted by the <i><a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2017/05/16/bill-targets-weather-related-lawsuit-abuse-passes-senate/?utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner">Texas Tribune</a></i>.</p><p>The effects of the new law will almost certainly be felt in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/28/jpmorgan-predicts-harvey-will-be-a-top-10-most-costly-hurricane-for-insurance-industry.html?utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner">JPMorgan predicted Monday</a> will be one of the top 10 most costly hurricanes in U.S. history for the insurance industry.</p><p>"While flooding is not covered under homeowner's insurance (it is sold by the government), it is covered under commercial insurance and could result in meaningful losses for the commercial reinsurers and insurers," JPMorgan analyst Sarah DeWitt wrote in a letter to clients quoted by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/28/jpmorgan-predicts-harvey-will-be-a-top-10-most-costly-hurricane-for-insurance-industry.html?utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner">CNBC</a>.</p><p>With rainfall still continuing through later in the week, the full extent of the damage is <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/damaging-hurricane-harvey-settles-southeast-texas-49432245?utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner">still unknown</a>, though officials currently predict that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/08/28/harvey-may-force-30000-people-into-shelters-while-flooding-will-linger-officials-warn/?utm_term=.b1c63b8de838&amp;utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner">more than 30,000 people</a> will be forced out of their homes in the wake of the devastation. Harvey has since been downgraded to a tropical storm.</p><p>"I can tell you I have a very bad feeling and that's about it," Mayor Charles Bujan of Port Aransas, Texas, told <span class="comment-selection"><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/damaging-hurricane-harvey-settles-southeast-texas-49432245?utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner">ABC News</a></span> about the town's "massive" damage.</p><p>The new law is set to take effect Friday as the rainfall tapers off, meaning many Texans won't be able to survey the damage before the current less-restrictive regulations expire. Those who can, however, may want to file their insurance claims immediately, as the <a href="http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/85R/billtext/pdf/HB01774F.pdf?utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner#navpanes=0">new regulations</a><span class="comment-selection">only apply</span> to insurance claims filed after the new law takes effect, even if any potential lawsuits occur after Sept. 1.</p><p>Even those filing a claim prior to Sept. 1 that don't file a lawsuit may find their timeliness pays off, as insurance companies will still have to pay the higher 18% interest penalty if payment gets delayed, the <i><a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2017/08/28/harvey-insurance-claims/?utm_campaign=trib-social&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_content=1503942248&amp;utm_source=AOL&amp;utm_medium=readMore&amp;utm_campaign=partner">Texas Tribune</a></i> noted.</p><p>When filing an insurance claim, Texans should ensure they provide an accurate description of the damage and thoroughly document their damage with photos and videos to avoid delays, the <a href="http://www.iii.org/press-release/hurricane-harvey-recovery-six-tips-for-filing-an-insurance-claim-082617">Insurance Information Institute</a> recommends, and keep a claim diary to track the insurance process.</p><p><strong>RELATED: Before-and-after images show extent of Hurricane Harvey damage</strong><br />
