SCR 91 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Congress to investigate claims that insurance companies have used revised engineering reports to deny flood claims from Superstorm Sandy.

This New Jersey Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 91) urges Congress to investigate whether insurance companies denied legitimate flood claims from Superstorm Sandy victims by using revised engineering reports. It specifically references a court case (Raimey v. Wright) where an engineer secretly altered a report to claim storm damage was due to pre-existing issues, leading to denied claims. The resolution asks Congress to examine if this practice - using "peer review" processes to rewrite damage assessments - is widespread and harming homeowners in New Jersey and similar states. It does not propose new laws but calls for federal investigation into these claims.
