Letter Outlines Credits for Storm Losses

WILTON, Conn. ? The following notice from Sen. Toni Boucher, R-Wilton and Norwalk, covers consumers' rights to receive credit for services lost during the recent snowstorm.

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.
