Helene: Insurance company complaints few, though coverages eye-opening | North Carolina
SUMMARY: North Carolina regulators have not received many complaints about insurance companies denying claims after Hurricane Helene, according to the state’s insurance commissioner spokesman, Jason Tyson. However, homeowners are discovering that damage types like flood and mudslides may not be covered by their policies. Disputes also arise over whether damage was caused by wind or flood. Tyson emphasized the lack of flood insurance among homeowners and noted that mudslide coverage is uncommon. The state insurance office offers mediation services for disputed claims at no cost to consumers. They encourage homeowners to call for assistance regarding denied claims.
