How We Respond

Our policy is to respond to claims promptly and fairly. While evaluating a claim we try to determine if there was negligence by determining:

  • How the incident happened.
  • Whether or not Eversource caused the incident.
  • The extent of the damage.
  • What state law would consider fair compensation or actual cash value.

We evaluate each claim based on the information you provide and our investigation, which may involve:

  • Review of all records.
  • Interviews of employees or witnesses.
  • A technical evaluation.

    Our goal is to reach a liability decision on your claim within 30 days of receipt of all relevant information.

    If the claim involved complex issues, or additional information is needed, the process may take longer. When our investigation is complete, we will call or send you a letter informing you of our decision.
