While the Maryland Insurance Administration does not sell insurance and we cannot recommend a particular policy or insurance company, we do want to help you learn what types of coverages are available. Additionally, we are here to assist you if you have a complaint involving an insurer, insurance producer, public adjuster or adviser.
Prepare now! Understand your risk from hurricanes, and begin pre-season preparations now. Make sure you have multiple ways of receiving forecasts and alerts, and know what to do before, during, and after a storm.
When your home is damaged by a storm, fire, or even a water leak, your life is disrupted and may even be turned upside down. To get back on track, you rely on professional contractors to repair and reconstruct your house. While the vast majority of contractors act ethically and professionally, there are some folks who may want to take advantage of you in your time of need.
During Contractor Fraud Awareness Week, May 18-22, and throughout the year, we want to make sure you are aware of current schemes and know how to protect yourself from falling victim.
Consumers are encouraged to report insurance fraud activities to the Maryland Insurance Administration's Insurance Fraud Division. We have compiled resources to help you learn how to recognize insurance fraud and report it.
