Common Property Claims in Connecticut

Three things define property claims in Connecticut: the coast, the winters, and the age of the building stock. Along Long Island Sound, communities like Greenwich, Stamford, Fairfield, and Old Saybrook face coastal flooding and storm surge, and Tropical Storm Isaias showed in 2020 how much damage wind and falling trees can do across the entire state. Connecticut winters bring ice dams, frozen and burst pipes, and snow-load stress on roofs from Danbury to Hartford and West Hartford. And because so many Connecticut homes and commercial buildings date back a century or more, losses in places like New Haven, Bridgeport, and Mystic often involve plaster, masonry, millwork, and building code questions that standard estimates overlook. Fire damage and business interruption losses round out the claims we see most.

For every one of them, our consultants work solely for the policyholder, verifying coverage, capturing the full scope of damage, valuing the loss accurately, and presenting a claim that supports a complete recovery.
