Public Adjuster Services for Lake Charles & Southwest Louisiana
LRG Claims represents policyholders in Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish and surrounding Southwest Louisiana communities with property insurance claims involving hurricane damage, high winds, water intrusion, fire, roof damage, commercial property losses, business interruption and disputed or underpaid claims.
Lake Charles has a property environment unlike most Louisiana cities. Residential neighborhoods exist alongside major industrial facilities, petrochemical operations, port and transportation property, healthcare facilities, hospitality properties, schools and other large commercial and institutional buildings.
Major losses in this market may involve extensive roof and exterior damage, interior water intrusion, contents, machinery and equipment, multiple buildings, temporary measures and interruption to normal operations.
LRG Claims represents the insured, not the insurance company. We help inspect and document relevant property damage, review available policy information and insurer estimates, organize supporting information and communicate the policyholder's claim position.
