HAVRE, Mont. (NMB) – Storms in recent years have caused major hail damage in various areas abound Montana. A press release says that large hail events are often followed by insurance and contractor problems for property owners, including in some cases outright fraud by out-of-state contractors.
To address these problems, Insurance Commissioner Matt Rosendale’s office is working to educate Montanans about the steps they should take if their cars, homes, or other property are damaged by hail. Rosendale will be hosting three Hail Fraud Prevention Workshops in Lewistown, Havre, and Great Falls next week to address this issue.
Attendees will learn how to work with their insurance company after a hail storm and what they should watch out for as they work with contractors and others to get property repaired.
This event is open to the public and lunch will be provided.
The workshop in Havre will be held on Thursday, May 2nd from 11:30 AM through 1 PM at the Best Western Plus.
Attendees are asked to sign up for the event at eventbrite.com and look for the Hail Fraud Prevention Workshop in Havre.
