We understand. At Angotti & Straface Attorneys at Law L.C., we protect the rights of insured property owners throughout West Virginia. Since 1952, we have witnessed extremely troublesome claim denials from insurance carriers. At our law firm, we have extensive knowledge of insurance law and how it applies to your case.

We will help to provide you with a strong foundation you can trust as Morgantown’s soil and earth movement claims lawyer.

Is Your Insurer Denying Your Claim
Based on an Earth Movement Exclusion?

The earth movement exclusion was implemented to exclude catastrophic, widespread natural events, such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, from standard property insurance policies. However, it is important to note that the earth movement exclusion was never intended to allow insurers from excluding coverage for losses caused by unnatural events, such as those directly and indirectly caused by the activities of man, such as mine subsidence and construction-related soil subsidence. Following increasing claims for unnatural events, insurers began denying claims for limited earth movement damage caused by non-catastrophic unnatural events, as well.
