Honorable Eric Dick Interviewed on KTRH

On January 8, 2021, Hon. Eric Dick was interviewed by KTRH:

A major backlog of cases continues in Houston-Harris County courts due to the COVID shutdowns.

Houston attorney Eric Dick says social distancing has kept jury trials to a minimum, and you can only pack so many Zoom calls into a day.“

If you are representing somebody that doesn't involve a murder or defending a murderer or any type of criminal activity, I think the chance of going to trial are slim to none, at least a jury trial,” he says.

Adding to the backlog, thousands of other cases postponed by flooding from Harvey.

“I think it's sad because justice delayed is justice denied,” Dick added

Those waiting for trial do have a few options now.

“I always encourage my clients to mediate, arbitrate or do a bench trial,” he says. “There are a bench trials going on through Zoom. And I would encourage people to maybe agree to a jury trial through Zoom if you have to have a jury trial.”

Why Should You Get a Lawyer?

Sadly, insurance companies pay hundreds of millions of dollars each year for favorable laws and rulings from judges. In that regard, property insurance companies are not in the business of paying valid insurance claims. My extensive experience only helps consumers hire an experienced lawyer before making an insurance claim.

Enlisting a highly skilled lawyer early generally provides the following benefits:

• You don't have to speak with the insurance company,
• The insurance company will have a more difficult time trying to trick you into saying the wrong thing,
• The lawyer will review the policy and file a notice of claim that complies with local laws,
• The lawyer will obtain experts to generate reports to support your claim,
• The lawyer may engage the services of meteorologists to prove weather patterns were ample to cause storm damage to your home.
• The lawyer may obtain the assistance of an estimator to generate an evaluation of your loss.
• The lawyer may enlist the services of a contents expert to generate reports on the value of your personal property.
• The lawyer can hire an insurance agent to create a report verifying that the policy covered the type of loss claimed.
• The attorney could hire an engineer to review the causation of your loss.

Don't Make Assumptions.

Experts decide many insurance claims. Don't assume whether you know if something is covered or not. Although some instances involving are covered by insurance, there are various factors why the insurance company might try to get out of paying you. It is essential to realize that the insurance provider could try to convince you that the cost of fixing the damages is less than the deductible. Don't let the insurance provider take a free ride in rejecting your legitimate claim. Get an experienced home insurance attorney to help. Let the attorney evaluate through experts whether a claim is covered or not.
