    Commissioner King says you should always call your insurance company or their office before signing any paperwork with a tree removal company or contractor.

    King says out-of-state overnight flight operators often even have business cards fresh off a local phone and an expensive bill that they promise your insurance will pay.

    “What happens when the insurance company doesn’t pay the claim because it’s not warranted so they put a lien against the owner and that’s incredibly unfortunate and that’s what we’re aware,” King said.

    He encourages owners to check if the company is licensed in the work for which the contract is intended.

    And if there are any questions or concerns, contact his office, the State Insurance Commission: (404) 656-2070, toll free at (800) 656-2298 or email the office at [email protected]
