The Hartford and other insurers involved in the PLIT-sponsored program that provide the business owner's package insurance, already have emergency teams in place, but they have not been able to get into most of the affected areas. This is the 5th hurricane these insurers have been involved with since last year so they should be able to respond efficiently. We estimate that around 65 practices insured by The Hartford were in the path of the storm. Only a couple of calls have been received at this point, but as telephone communication in the affected region resumes, members insured through The Hartford may call 1-800-327-3636 (24 hours a day). If a member has any personal lines insurance (homeowners or auto) through the PLIT's endorsed carrier Liberty Mutual they may call 1-800-713-7379 or go to libertymutualinsurance.com to report a claim. If we at the AVMA PLIT may be of any assistance, please call us at 1-800-228-7548.
