The Dark Reality of Insurance Denials

Many policyholders face:

  • Claims denied for "insufficient hail size"
  • Delayed payouts while damage worsens
  • Underpaid settlements that don't cover full repairs
  • Bad-faith tactics to avoid responsibility

In the recent November 1-2, 2025, storm in the Coastal Bend area around Corpus Christi, hail up to 4 inches affected over 42,000 people across 1,724 square miles. Homeowners are now dealing with denied claims despite clear evidence of damage.

The Bombshell Truth: IBHS Hail Research

For decades, insurers claimed hail under one inch couldn't cause significant damage. But research from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) proves otherwise. Using a hail cannon to simulate storms, IBHS found:

  • Repeated small-hail impacts make shingles 10× more likely to fail over time.
  • Even "impact-resistant" shingles deteriorate rapidly under multiple hits.
  • Small hail causes cumulative damage often mislabeled as "aging" or "weathering."

This science opens new legal pathways for reopening denied claims, breach-of-contract suits, and bad-faith actions. At Griffin Purnell, we use this evidence to make insurers pay.
