Residents affected by last week’s round of severe weather should contact the Kansas Department of Insurance if they have an issue with an insurance claim, Kansas Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt said today. The Department has been in contact with local authorities across Kansas and urges residents affected by the storm to contact the Department if they need assistance.
“Last week brought a high level of severe weather across the state, and many Kansans will undoubtably be filing insurance claims in the days ahead,” Schmidt said. “If you have any questions about your insurance coverage after the storm or have an issue with an insurance claim in the coming weeks, please contact the Department.”
If you need to file a claim, the Department has a Homeowners Claims Settlement checklist available online. If you or someone you know is having trouble with an insurance claim, please contact the Department’s Consumer Assistance Division toll-free at 1-800-432-2484, by email at
