“Dinosaur” Lawyers Successfully Obtain Dinosaur Insurance Recovery

Congratulations to Saunders, Walsh & Beard’s client, The Dinosaur Company (a division of Billings Productions), for obtaining full insurance benefits for the loss of 21 of its dinosaur replicas in North Carolina due to Hurricane Florence. The insurer for the Dinosaur Company initially filed the claim for the loss, and SWB’s own “dinosaur” lawyers, Alex Beard and Mark Johnson, stepped in to make sure Billings received all the insurance benefits it was entitled to under its insurance policy. Mr. Beard & Mr. Johnson convinced the insurance company its initial decision to pay only a portion of the loss was incorrect and, as a result, the Dinosaur Company received over a half a million dollars in additional policy benefits–all without having to file a lawsuit.

At SWB, we help our clients (large and small) get the insurance coverage they paid for when they purchased their insurance policy. Two of our partners–Alex Beard and Mark Johnson–each have decades of experience dealing with insurance companies and analyzing insurance policies. In fact, both Mr. Beard and Mr. Johnson both represented insurance companies exclusively for several years, and they now leverage that valuable experience in representing our policyholder clients and assisting them with their insurance-related issues.

Call us today and schedule a time when we can discuss your particular insurance-related issue or dispute.

Roofing Day at the Texas State Capital

Roofing Day at the Texas State Capital
Roofing Day at the Texas State Capital

I was honored to spend the day at the Texas State Capital on February 27, 2019 for Roofing Day. It was a great experience meeting with those who make our system of government work in Texas and spending time with so many of my hard-working friends in the roofing and restoration community–true professionals passionate about the contributions they make to their communities. I met with various representatives regarding the roofer registration bill proposed by RCAT and NTRCA this legislative session. S.B. No. 1168, submitted by Senator Zaffirini, and H.B. No. 2101, submitted by Representative Capriglione, both propose registration of reroofing contractors as a means of vetting restoration contractors seeking to sell their services following a hail or wind event. Please join us in supporting this consumer-friendly legislation. You can visit https://www.saferoofsovertexas.com/ for more information.
