Homeowners and Businesses in Wisconsin Rapids Face Critical May 18, 2025 Deadline for Storm Damage Claims

Many Insurance Policies Require Repairs to Be Completed Within One Year of the May 18, 2024 Storm

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Homeowners and business owners in Wisconsin Rapids who suffered property damage from the May 18, 2024 storm may be at risk of losing their insurance benefits if they fail to meet a crucial one-year deadline. Many insurance policies in Wisconsin require that not only claims be filed within a year, but that all covered repairs be completed by that deadline.

With May 18, 2025, fast approaching, policyholders who have not reviewed their policy deadlines or completed necessary work should take immediate action.

Time-Sensitive Insurance Deadlines Could Lead to Loss of Coverage
"The one-year deadline catches a lot of people off guard," said Josh Hansen, a representative from The Adjustment Firm². "Many policyholders assume that once their claim is approved, they have unlimited time to complete repairs—but that’s not the case. If the work isn’t finished by the deadline set in their policy, their insurance company could refuse to pay for remaining repairs, leaving them with unexpected out-of-pocket costs."

Why Policyholders Should Act Now
Insurance deadlines vary by policy, and some may have exceptions or extensions, but understanding your specific policy’s requirements is essential. If a policyholder is unsure when their deadline is, The Adjustment Firm encourages them to review their policy immediately or seek expert assistance³.

What Happens If a Deadline Is Missed?
Failing to complete repairs by the required deadline can have serious financial consequences, including:

Denial of remaining claim payments for repairs that were not finished in time.
Higher out-of-pocket costs, as homeowners and business owners may have to cover unfinished repairs themselves.
Potential loss of coverage, depending on policy terms.
