Storm climate
Why New York sees so many storm claims
The Mid-Atlantic sees powerful wind events year-round — nor'easters and winter storms in the cold season, severe thunderstorms and the remnants of Atlantic tropical systems in summer and fall. Wind-stripped shingles and tree damage drive most claims here. Across New York's 62 counties, the roofs most exposed to wind and nor'easters see the heaviest claim volume during the summer severe season and winter nor'easters.

New York claim deadline
Filing deadlines & deductibles in New York
Reporting: Report storm damage to your insurer promptly, most policies require notice 'as soon as practicable' after the loss.
Deadline: The deadline to file and to sue on a property claim is set by your policy and your state's law, and varies widely. Don't wait: read your policy's 'suit against us' / claim-reporting clause and confirm with your state insurance department.
Deductibles: Many policies in storm-prone areas use a separate wind/hail deductible, a percentage (commonly 1%–5%) of your dwelling limit rather than a flat dollar amount. Check your declarations page.
General information, not legal advice — verify with Your state's Department of Insurance (search '[state] department of insurance storm claim'). For the full picture, read our claim time limits by state and roof deductibles guides.
