<meta content="Hurricane Harvey and HB 1774 " property="og:title" /><meta content="http://web.templetx.org/external/wcpages/images/facebook-news.jpg" property="og:image" /><meta content="From the Texas Association of Business:

There has been a huge amount of misinformation circulating on social media about the 
impact of HB 1774 (the hailstorm bill) as it relates to the catastrophic events we are 
experiencing due to Hurricane Harvey. Here are the facts you can use in responding to 
constituents and the press: 

HB 1774 does not change the insurance claims process. A person making a claim with her 
insurance company after September 1, 2017 will go through the same process as a person 
making a claim before September 1, 2017.

The new law applies only to a lawsuit that is filed against an insurance company by a 
policyholder when the policyholder’s insurance claim is not timely paid or is underpaid, or when 
the insurance company acts in bad faith in dealing with the policyholder’s claim. Lawsuits are the exc
eption, not the rule. The vast majority of Texans will go through the regular insurance claims process without needing to file a lawsuit.

Texans continue to have the strongest consumer protections in the nation against insurance 
companies. This includes the full recovery of amounts owed under an insurance policy, plus 
penalty interest, court costs, and attorney fees. Additionally, if the insurance company acts 
fraudulently or in bad faith, Texans may recover triple the amount of their actual damages, 
which is unchanged by the new statute.

The primary purpose of the new statute is to require written notice of a dispute before a 
lawsuit is filed. If a lawsuit is filed, it would happen months or years after the initial claim was 
made with the insurance company. Nothing in the new law passed by the Legislature earlier 
this year requires that the initial insurance claim be made in writing or by a specific date.

This requirement for a written pre-suit notice (not pre-claim notice) to the insurance 
company ensures the company is aware of its policyholder’s complaint and has had an 
opportunity to adequately address that complaint before being sued. 

Furthermore, the new law will not apply to most claims or lawsuits arising from Harvey, 
because most of the policyholders’ claims will be for damage caused by flooding. These 
claims will be made under the federal flood insurance program and governed by federal law.
Similarly, the new law will not apply to lawsuits pursued against the Texas Windstorm 
Insurance Association (TWIA), which is subject to an entirely different statute governing post-disaster lawsuits. TWIA provides insurance for many people affected by Harvey.

The new law is designed to do two important things:
1. Discourage the feeding frenzy by lawyers and contractors following natural events 
occurring in Texas over the past several years. These unscrupulous actors have taken 
advantage of thousands of hard-working Texans over the past several years.

2. Encourage out-of-state insurance adjusters to come work in Texas following a massive 
disaster like Harvey. In the following days and weeks, it will be critically important for 
out-of-state adjusters to work in Texas to ensure that insurance claims are evaluated 
and paid in a timely manner.

In sum, the new law does not affect the claims process. Instead, it affects only the lawsuits 
that sometimes follow the claims process. Furthermore, it does not create a new deadline for 
action by policyholders" property="og:description" /><meta content="200" property="og:image:width" /><meta content="200" property="og:image:height" /><meta content="http://web.templetx.org/external/wcpages/wcnews/newsarticledisplay.aspx?articleid=638" property="og:url" /></head>

				<span id="content1_content_NewsArticle1_lblLongDescr" style="display:inline-block;">From the Texas Association of Business:
<BR>
<BR>There has been a huge amount of misinformation circulating on social media about the 
<BR>impact of HB 1774 (the hailstorm bill) as it relates to the catastrophic events we are 
<BR>experiencing due to Hurricane Harvey. Here are the facts you can use in responding to 
<BR>constituents and the press: 
<BR>
<BR>HB 1774 does not change the insurance claims process. A person making a claim with her 
<BR>insurance company after September 1, 2017 will go through the same process as a person 
<BR>making a claim before September 1, 2017.
<BR>
<BR>The new law applies only to a lawsuit that is filed against an insurance company by a 
<BR>policyholder when the policyholder’s insurance claim is not timely paid or is underpaid, or when 
<BR>the insurance company acts in bad faith in dealing with the policyholder’s claim. Lawsuits are the exc
<BR>eption, not the rule. The vast majority of Texans will go through the regular insurance claims process without needing to file a lawsuit.
<BR>
<BR>Texans continue to have the strongest consumer protections in the nation against insurance 
<BR>companies. This includes the full recovery of amounts owed under an insurance policy, plus 
<BR>penalty interest, court costs, and attorney fees. Additionally, if the insurance company acts 
<BR>fraudulently or in bad faith, Texans may recover triple the amount of their actual damages, 
<BR>which is unchanged by the new statute.
<BR>
<BR>The primary purpose of the new statute is to require written notice of a dispute before a 
<BR>lawsuit is filed. If a lawsuit is filed, it would happen months or years after the initial claim was 
<BR>made with the insurance company. Nothing in the new law passed by the Legislature earlier 
<BR>this year requires that the initial insurance claim be made in writing or by a specific date.
<BR>
<BR>This requirement for a written pre-suit notice (not pre-claim notice) to the insurance 
<BR>company ensures the company is aware of its policyholder’s complaint and has had an 
<BR>opportunity to adequately address that complaint before being sued. 
<BR>
<BR>Furthermore, the new law will not apply to most claims or lawsuits arising from Harvey, 
<BR>because most of the policyholders’ claims will be for damage caused by flooding. These 
<BR>claims will be made under the federal flood insurance program and governed by federal law.
<BR>Similarly, the new law will not apply to lawsuits pursued against the Texas Windstorm 
<BR>Insurance Association (TWIA), which is subject to an entirely different statute governing post-disaster lawsuits. TWIA provides insurance for many people affected by Harvey.
<BR>
<BR>The new law is designed to do two important things:
<BR>1. Discourage the feeding frenzy by lawyers and contractors following natural events 
<BR>occurring in Texas over the past several years. These unscrupulous actors have taken 
<BR>advantage of thousands of hard-working Texans over the past several years.
<BR>
<BR>2. Encourage out-of-state insurance adjusters to come work in Texas following a massive 
<BR>disaster like Harvey. In the following days and weeks, it will be critically important for 
<BR>out-of-state adjusters to work in Texas to ensure that insurance claims are evaluated 
<BR>and paid in a timely manner.
<BR>
<BR>In sum, the new law does not affect the claims process. Instead, it affects only the lawsuits 
<BR>that sometimes follow the claims process. Furthermore, it does not create a new deadline for 
<BR>action by policyholders</span></P>
