About Lightning Strike Investigators

We Don’t Work for Insurance Companies. We Work for You.

⚡When the Storm Ends, the Real Fight Begins.

We started Lightning Strike Investigators because we saw too many homeowners left in the dark—literally and figuratively. After surviving our own lightning strike disaster, we learned firsthand how fast things can spiral: hidden damage, insurance delays, and the constant uphill battle to get what’s fair. Insurance companies often overlook or undervalue lightning damage. That experience lit a fire in us—and now we use it to protect others.

We don’t just help you file claims. We help you take back control. We fight for fair payouts, vet contractors, and manage rebuilds with the kind of precision and grit you won’t find in a generic consulting firm. We bring structure to the chaos, protect your budget, and make sure the work gets done right—not just fast.

This work isn’t just about paperwork and inspections—it’s about advocacy. It’s about making sure families aren’t sidelined by red tape or overlooked by adjusters. We built this company to bring clarity, confidence, and results to people who deserve better. If you’ve been hit by lightning, we’re here to make sure you’re not left picking up the pieces alone.

⚠️ Why Lightning Damage Is Different

Lightning strikes aren’t just dramatic—they’re deceptive. Unlike floods or fires, lightning damage often hides behind walls, inside wiring, and within appliances. It can trigger electrical failures weeks later, spark fires from unseen shorts, or cause structural issues that go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Insurance companies frequently treat lightning as a minor event, overlooking the complexity and long-term risks. That’s why you need a specialist who understands the science, the symptoms, and the strategy to get it handled right.

We know what to look for, how to document it, and how to fight for coverage that reflects the real impact.
