Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Tornadoes?

If your homeowners insurance coverage includes wind damage, it should cover tornadoes as well. Following a tornado, your insurer may pay for:

  • Damage to your home and outbuildings
  • Damage or losses of eligible personal property
  • Relocation costs in case you need to live in a hotel or a rented apartment during repairs

The upper limit of coverage for tornadoes and other natural disasters depends on your specific policy. Most homeowners will also need to pay a deductible, which is an amount you are responsible for as part of your settlement.

Keep in mind that standard homeowner’s insurance doesn’t include flood damage, which may occur simultaneously with a tornado. Our knowledgeable tornado damage claim lawyer can help you understand your coverage and potential claim value.

What To Do After a Tornado

If you have experienced a tornado, it is essential to prioritize your safety and the safety of others.

As soon as you can safely do so, you should:

  • Take multiple photos and videos of the damaged property, including your home, outbuildings like garages and sheds, and personal belongings
  • Protect your property: Take steps to protect your property from further damage. This may include covering broken windows, tarping damaged roofs, and boarding up damaged walls or doors
  • Secure your property: Secure your property by locking doors and windows and remove any valuables to a safe place.
  • Seek assistance from an experienced claim lawyer to review your homeowner’s insurance policy and submit a claim
