November 21, 2012 — As the estimated destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy hits $50 billion, the “storm on steroids” is now the second most expensive storm in U.S. history, after Hurricane Katrina. And the damage is not faceless; millions of families and businesses have had their lives turned upside down by this disaster. We know that rebuilding isn’t easy--it takes time and it takes resources. So, to help families and businesses get the simple and affordable guidance they need, we’ve created a Hurricane Sandy Legal and Insurance Help Center.
Here’s how we can help you start getting things back to normal:
- Helpful articles with the information you need in the aftermath of the storm, like how to appeal a rejected insurance claim or hire a contractor.
- Quick answers to your Superstorm Sandy legal questions:
- A free 30-minute consultation with an On Call attorney for issues arising from or related to the effects of Superstorm Sandy.*
- Get a response to your general legal questions by asking one of our guest lawyers on our Facebook page.
- Less paperwork with quickly customizable documents, including requests for information about denied insurance claims, contracts for home repairs and more.
If you know someone who has been affected by the superstorm, please share our Hurricane Sandy Legal and Insurance Help Center with those in need. We’re here to help throughout the recovery process. And if you can, please consider donating to the Red Cross to assist those in immediate need.
