What Is a Large Loss Insurance Claim?


An experienced attorney, Bill Voss holds a juris doctor from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law. The founding owner of the Voss Law Firm in The Woodlands, Texas, attorney Bill Voss works a variety of legal cases, such as large loss insurance claims. 

Large loss insurance claims are often characterized by a variety of factors, such as dollar amount, the square footage or number of floors of the property, and the complex nature of the loss. Some examples of large loss claims include single structure losses, such as a single-family residence, or weather disasters that affect multiple properties.

Large loss claims are typically time consuming and complex, due in part to the different processes and criteria insurance companies have for the handling of these claims. In addition, some large losses may involve multiple insurance coverage options, and some residential large losses include collectibles and personal belongings that are difficult to adjudicate.

ARC Supports Families after Apartment Fire in Houston Area


Houston attorney Bill Voss founded The Voss Law Firm, PC, over 10 years ago. Besides his work as an attorney, Bill Voss supports his local chapter of the American Red Cross (ARC).

ARC’s Disaster Action Team is available around the clock to provide relief services to those affected by earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires that affect their homes, and a variety of other disasters.

In December 2016, ARC provided assistance when Houston’s Pier Club Apartments, a 16-unit multifamily property, caught on fire. Since the fire occurred two weeks before Christmas, this affected the holiday season for those living there. Many lost all of their possessions. Although the cause of the fire has not yet been identified, firefighters are working to determine if it was heating related and implementing the use of more smoke alarms. ARC is helping to provide for the affected families as they recover from this disastrous event.
