Hurricane & Storm Damage Assessment
Comprehensive forensic analysis of hurricane, tornado, hail, and severe storm damage for insurance claims, litigation, and property restoration.
Expert Hurricane & Storm Damage Assessment Services
Since 2002, Dr. Mir Emad Mousavi and Global Forensic Engineers have investigated thousands of hurricane and storm damage cases across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Seaboard, and tornado-prone regions. Our forensic engineers assess structural integrity, identify failure mechanisms, differentiate pre-existing conditions from storm-induced damage, and produce PE-stamped reports accepted by insurance carriers and courts nationwide. With licensed engineers on the ground in 26 states, we deliver rapid response, thorough documentation, and defensible conclusions.

Pre-Existing vs. Storm Damage
Expert differentiation between storm-induced damage and pre-existing conditions — critical for insurance claim resolution.
Code Compliance Review

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our hurricane & storm damage assessment services
How soon can you inspect my property after a hurricane?
We typically deploy local engineers within 24–72 hours of your call. With teams in 26 states, we have boots on the ground in hurricane-prone regions ready to mobilize immediately.
Will your report be accepted by my insurance company?
Yes. Our PE-stamped reports are widely accepted by major insurance carriers including State Farm, Allstate, USAA, and others. We follow industry-standard forensic protocols and provide objective, scientifically-supported findings.
What if the insurance adjuster says the damage is pre-existing?
This is exactly where forensic engineering expertise matters. We use material science, structural analysis, and damage pattern recognition to reliably distinguish storm-induced damage from pre-existing conditions — providing the evidence you need to support your claim.
Do you provide expert witness testimony for hurricane damage litigation?
Yes. Dr. Mousavi and our senior engineers have extensive experience providing deposition and trial testimony in hurricane damage disputes, bad-faith insurance cases, and construction defect litigation.
