Senator Toni Boucher (R-Wilton) wants residents to know as consumers they have a right to try and get credit for services they lost during the storm.
In the wake of the October Nor’easter there are many questions consumers need answers to:
- What does your insurance policy cover?
- What if a tree falls on my house, on my neighbor’s house?
- Can I be reimbursed for food I had to throw out because I lost power?
- Can I be reimbursed for hotel costs because I couldn’t stay in my home?
Please contact the State Insurance Department for guidance.
