Galen Hair is a property-casualty insurance attorney operating and owner of Insurance Claim HQ. He is licensed in a number of states that Mother Nature haunts with hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, and other natural disasters, including Louisiana, Massachusetts, Florida, and New York. Climate change and the recurrence of "hundred-year storms" (that are happening much more frequently than every hundred years) are keeping Galen busy with his seemingly recession-proof law practice. Galen and Rory both graduated from Boston University the same year (but didn't know until we recorded since BU is so large!)

Galen and Rory both graduated from Boston University the same year (but didn't know until we recorded since BU is so large!) Late in the episode, we heard how, at age 15, Galen learned how to engage people by giving away free samples of Texas BBQ dry-rubbed chicken, both skills he uses to this day (engaging people and cooking chicken)! In this episode, we talk about: -- What does a property-casualty insurance attorney do? -- Why Galen has been to more housewarming parties than any other lawyer in the world -- What went into relocating his operations after a hurricane hit his office in order to serve the community in which he operated -- What should people be doing early on, far before the next disaster hits? -- How you can become a more informed insurance shopper -- What happened in Texas during the widespread power grid failure -- The difference between isolated events and mass events -- Why are insurance companies still writing policies in regions prone to mass events? -- How to prepare for a known weather event that can cause mass destruction -- Why documenting everything - before and after a disaster - is critical -- What is the property owner's duty to mitigate damages after a disaster? Fun fact - Galen is a huge fan of.....office supplies! He once debated the merits of paper clips versus rubber bands for an improv class.
