Important information about insurance claims submission deadlines #harvey

There is very bad information circulating around social media and news outlets about a Friday deadline to report claims. This is not fake news, but IT IS FALSE!!!

The legislation involved, HB1774, is regarding lawsuits filed on an already active claim. NOT a new insurance claim filed on an existing policy. The language is confusing, and being compounded. You do NOT need to file a claim by Friday. Most of you couldn't if you wanted to.

The claims reporting process for new claims is not changed. Please pass this around. There is plenty of time to file a claim. See the attached graphic for more information.

Please pass this on.
