The Long Island newspaper Newsday is reporting that, six months after Superstorm Sandy, numerous Long Island homeowners are fighting with insurance adjusters over their flood claims.
About 97 percent of the approximately 57,000 flood claims filed in New York have been closed – but as many as 10 to 15 percent of homeowners with closed claims may be contesting the settlements, according to the paper. One attorney quoted in the article said he is representing about 100 policyholders.
