Connecticut claim rules and what to do after a denial or low offer
- 1
Get the decision and the reasons in writing
Connecticut’s unfair claim settlement practices law lists failing to acknowledge and act with reasonable promptness on claim communications and failing to affirm or deny coverage within a reasonable time after proof of loss statements have been completed (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-816(6)). Ask for the specific policy provision the denial or reduction relies on, the adjuster’s estimate and any reports, and keep all requests in writing.
- 2
Read the exact policy language cited
Find the exclusion or condition the letter relies on, then read your declarations page and endorsements: deductibles, roof or cosmetic-damage terms, water damage limits and any matching or ordinance-or-law coverage.
- 3
Document the damage before repairs
Photograph and video every room and roof slope, keep damaged materials or samples when you can, and save invoices for emergency repairs. That record is what a reinspection, supplement or appraisal will rely on.
- 4
Use the policy’s appraisal clause if the fight is about the amount
Most homeowners policies have an appraisal clause for disagreements about the amount of loss, not coverage. Read its exact steps, costs and deadlines before invoking it.
- 5
Check the policy’s time limit to sue
Many homeowners policies set a contractual deadline to file suit that can be shorter than you expect. Ask a Connecticut-licensed attorney about legal deadlines; we are public adjusters, not attorneys.

Connecticut insurance claim FAQ
How long does an insurer have to decide my claim in Connecticut?
Connecticut doesn’t set a fixed number of days for homeowners claims. Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-816(6), failing to act with reasonable promptness on claim communications, or to affirm or deny coverage within a reasonable time after proof of loss statements are completed, is an unfair claim settlement practice when committed with such frequency as to indicate a general business practice.
Is AF Claims licensed in Connecticut?
Yes. AF Claims (American Financial Claims) holds a Connecticut public adjuster license 20497788. We represent policyholders only, never insurance companies, and we can inspect in person, by phone or by video.
My insurance company isn’t listed. Can you still help?
Yes. The list shows the largest home insurers by market share, not the only ones. Connecticut’s claim-handling rules apply to every insurer licensed in the state, and the review works the same way whoever wrote your policy.
Can you guarantee the insurer will change its decision?
No. No one can honestly guarantee an outcome. We review the file, tell you what we see, and represent you if it makes sense to work together. Every claim is different, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What does the review cost?
The claim review is free, and asking questions doesn’t hire us. If it makes sense to work together, the fee and services are explained in a written agreement before you sign.
