LeMaster & Ahmed made my painful situation much less of a pain. I was involved in a car accident and Jennifer and Nejat helped me out. I didn't have to deal with the headaches of fighting with the insurance companies. These nice ladies took care of everything for me. Their first concerns were getting me the proper medical treatment I needed. After my treatment was over they worked hard making sure that all the medical bills were paid and I was compensated accordingly. I'm very pleased that they took my case. They were a pleasure to do business with.

I am a board certified personal injury attorney and had a seriously injured client but sticky coverage issues. Jennifer and Nejat brought their industry-insider knowledge and experience to the case and helped chamge the insurer's perspective from no-coverage to a risk of coverage it was not willing to take. We made a great recovery on a difficult case which I attribute to their expertise and the insurer's recognition of that expertise.

We represent policyholders to ensure they receive the insurance benefits they
are owed.
Types of Disputes
Denied Claims
Insurance companies deny claims for many different reasons. Improper documentation, insufficient
evidence, payment shortages, and doubtful claims are only some of the most common reasons why an
insurance claim might be rejected. Speak to a qualified insurance attorney if your claim has been
denied.
Underpaid Claims
In many cases, insurance companies will first issue a lower than reasonable offer to their
policyholders as a means of saving money. Although this first offer is not final, many policyholders
accept it out of financial desperation. If you believe your insurance company has underpaid your
claim, speak to a knowledgeable insurance attorney.
Delayed Claims
There are different motivations behind delayed insurance claims. Depending on your claim's
specifics, such as where and why it happened or how serious the damage is, your insurance company
may withhold funds until they decide otherwise or are compelled by law. Speak to an experienced
insurance attorney if your claim has been delayed.
Bad Faith
Your insurance company is required to act in good faith when you file a claim. Most insurers act in
good faith and abide by the law, but there some who bend the rules in an attempt to maintain profit.
Any adjuster who unjustly denies a claim or reduces a payout is acting in bad faith.
"We’ve spent the majority
of our careers representing insurers, and now we represent only policyholders. Some of our
clients don't have a house to go back to. Some of our clients don't have a business to go
work in on Monday morning. And our entire goal is to put them back into the position that
they would have been before that catastrophic loss."
Jennifer LeMaster focuses her practice in the areas of insurance coverage disputes,
personal injury, and general and commercial litigation. She is a zealous advocate
for policyholders and personal injury victims, and she works tirelessly for her clients.
"When our clients come to
us, their insurance company has turned their back on them, so they're worried how they're
going to repair their home. They're worried how they're going to continue operating their
business. This is not just about a monetary loss, this is personal to them, and it's
personal to us."
Nejat Ahmed has litigated multi-million dollar coverage disputes involving both primary and
excess commercial property policies in state and federal courts. She also has many years of
experience litigating coverage disputes.
A house is the biggest investment for most Texans. Homeowners rely on home insurance to protect this
investment in the event of an unexpected disaster. However, some homeowners are unaware of what their
policy covers. While most homeowners know their insurance covers fire and water damage, most are shocked
to find out their policy does not cover certain damage.
What is even more shocking is when an adjuster denies your claim or refuses to provide a reasonable
settlement. Speak with an insurance lawyer immediately if this is the case for you. They can investigate
the situation and negotiate with adjusters on your behalf.

information to help the adjuster evaluate your claim properly. Ms. Ahmed and Ms. LeMaster have

Types of Homeowners Coverage
Most homeowners are unaware their policy covers more than damage to the home. The majority of homeowner’s
insurance in Texas include coverage for the following:
Structure damage coverage: An insurance policy will pay for damage caused to a
home, but only damaged caused by risks covered under the policy. Structures on your property that
are not attached to the home are also covered. This can include fences, detached garages and garden
sheds.
Personal property coverage: Damaged personal property is covered by most insurance
providers, but only to a point. Homeowners insurance will cover damaged, destroyed or stolen items
such as furniture and clothing. You will likely need to purchase additional coverage for high value
items.
Loss of use coverage: This type of coverage pays for living expenses if you have to
move while your house is being repaired. Living expenses that may be covered include rent, food and
other expenses you would not have if you were living at home.
Medical coverage: Most homeowners policies also cover medical bills for those
injured on your property. This type of coverage may also pay for injuries that take place away from
home such as your dog biting someone while on a walk.
Personal liability coverage: Most homeowner’s insurance will pay for medical bills
and other costs for individuals you are legally responsible for injuring. It also covers damage you
caused to another’s property and court cost if you are sued because of an accident.
Not all insurance policies are the same. Be sure to read your insurance declaration to find out how much
your policy covers, what is covered and other key information about your coverage.
Damage Covered by Homeowner’s Insurance
Property damage is the primary reason homeowners purchase insurance on their home. This policy provides
coverage for certain risks and perils that could damage a home or property. However, many homeowners are
shocked to find out their policy only covers certain types of damage.
Listed below are types of property damage covered by most insurance policies:
Watch More VideosThe last thing you want to find out is that your insurance policy won’t pay for the damage to your home
because it is not covered. Damage that is not covered by most standard homeowner’s policies include:
Losses that occur if you are away for the number of days specified by your policy
Trampoline accidents
Pool accidents
Dog attacks from “aggressive breeds”
Your Rights as a Policyholder
You have rights as a policyholder, which are listed in the Texas Department of Insurance Bill of Rights.
If an insurance company infringes on these rights, you can sue them in civil court and seek additional
damage for your claim and attorney fees. According to the Texas Department of Insurance, an insurance
company cannot deny your claim or charge you more for any of the following reasons:
Race, religion, color or national origin
Age, gender, marital status, geographical location or disability
Credit score
Treat you differently than other people in your rate or risk class
The Texas Insurance Code also prevents insurance companies from engaging in unfair settlement practices.
According to the statutes, a homeowner’s insurance provider cannot:
Refuse to pay a claim without conducting a reasonable investigation
Fail to provide a reasonable explanation for denying a claim
Fail to provide a prompt, fair and equitable settlement
Require you to provide a copy of your tax returns as a condition of a settlement
Fail to confirm or deny coverage within a reasonable time
Misrepresent policy provisions or information relating to the claim
