AAA Warns Tennessee Homeowners of Post-Tornado Contractor Fraud

AAA is providing insurance advice to Tennessee residents recovering from tornado damage and warns them about potential contractor fraud. After severe weather, residents are advised to document the damage and contact their insurance providers as soon as conditions permit. Prompt action can expedite repairs and the claims process.

Homeowners with wind damage should file claims under their homeowner's policy, while those with vehicle damage will need to utilize their auto insurance. AAA emphasizes the importance of using reliable methods to file claims, which can be done via phone, online, or through mobile apps.

Additionally, AAA cautions homeowners against trusting door-to-door contractors who may appear in affected neighborhoods offering cleanup or repair services. While some may be reputable, others may try to exploit vulnerable residents. It is crucial for homeowners to work with their insurance providers and hire licensed contractors to avoid scams and ensure honest repair work.
