Storm climate
Why Rhode Island sees so many storm claims
New England roofs are worked hardest by wind — coastal nor'easters, the remnants of tropical systems in late summer, and winter ice and snow load. A mature tree canopy makes wind-driven limb and tree strikes one of the region's most common roof claims. Across Rhode Island's 5 counties, the roofs most exposed to wind and nor'easters see the heaviest claim volume during the fall nor'easter season and winter.

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.
