NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Velocity Risk Underwriters, LLC, has expanded its home insurance products and now offers coastal homeowners policies in North Carolina and New York.

"We are thrilled to add North Carolina and New York to our list of states where homeowners insurance will be available," stated Jose de Diego, Director of Independent Agencies. "We've started visiting with agents and brokers in coastal communities, and they look forward to having a well-backed, financially stable insurer available to their customers. We know last summer was difficult for many homeowners in North Carolina who were affected by Hurricane Florence. While we hope another storm of this magnitude never hits the eastern seaboard again, if it does, we will be ready."

Following Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in 2017 and Hurricane Michael in 2018, Velocity Claims helped customers begin their recovery within days of the storm and concluded claims faster than most other carriers. "Velocity Claims is dedicated to providing all customers timely, accurate and friendly claims service on day-to-day claims, as well as catastrophe events, and we have a proven track record of performance that you can rely upon," according to Velocity's Chief Claims Officer, Rod Harden.
