But, to poster who suggested Storm Chasing is tantamount to ambulance chasing... Really? Honestly think about what you are saying. You are comparing unscrupulous, hack-job lawyers who hang around hospitals and essentially arrive at a 'victim' or 'customers' weakest moment to sign them to a contract getting as much money as quick as possible for their injuries(personal, bodily injury... not injury to property, mind you), and basically leaving them in the dust... To a person who comes around and cleans house, both literally and figuratively, for a homeowner, and genuinely represents their best interests against an insurance company who would like to pay out as little as possible?

What are you trying to say here?

Let me ask you, have you one inkling of actual ambulance chasers work?


PS- Don't get me wrong, there are obviously a plethora of shady stormers out there. But get off your high horse.

let me reign that in a bit... I apologize if I came off as harsh at all... Just the thought of equating personal injury to property damage is ridiculous to me.

If you can't tell me your heart rate rises in anticipation of the monies to made when you hear that hail a hittin on the roof, you're a liar. But if you said the same about the tires a squelin right before a serious wreck, you are seriously in need of help.


I come from a family where I am the first in five generations to not be either a doctor or a lawyer.... I'm not saying that makes me either by default, by any means, but I understand the seriousness of the things we all do to make money. My father is a trial attorney, and has been for upwards of forty years. He is one of the most moral and respectable people I have ever known. He despise ambulance chasers... I have heard about their stain on his profession since I was a wee lad.

Storm chasers are nothing of the sort. Sorry, I guess it just struck a chord with me.

No harm, No foul.

I agree with all of you on the subject of storm work.I look at it as ambulance chasers.I am a roofer since 1982 and love the daily challenges it brings.This kind of work is borderline iffy at best.I guess its ok for those looking for a quick buck.kind of like a car salesman

When you say 'storm chasers' do you mean roofers that come into town after a storms, get deposits and bail?

I did one of the arbitration with umpire inspections ones. The insurance company was metlife and they claimed in the report some small hail damage to the roof. The staff adjuster wouldn't come out to meet me on a second inspection or wouldn't send out another adjuster. The homeowner and I decided to go the umpire route. The insurance company quickly picked a contractor to represent them. That contractor who my dad used to work for in the 70's gave me a list of half a dozen possible umpires. I spoke with all of them and one seemed really good. He'd worked with the adjuster in the past and he said they may acutally reject him as an umpire. All was good until he learned it was a 12/12. Ended up going with a "storm chasing/multi-state contractor to act as umpire figuring that was my best chance. Met on the roof and of course the contractor the adjuster hired said there was no hail or wind damage. The umpire said some hail damage but not enough to warrant replacing the whole roof. After the contractor left he said I have to pull a shingle and send it to Itel and see if a match is available. He said they can't discuss match that's up to the insurance provider. I took a shingle off and sent to Itel and showed the original shingle was no longer made and no match was available. The adjuster said they were not consdering a match on this claim, case closed.

After 20+ years with metlife he switched carriers. My dad currently has metlife and tell him once a month to switch.

In the very small neighborhood ended up doing 4 roofs for hail damage. Two got denied, metlife and allstate, go figure!!!
