What a Connecticut license means for your claim

Connecticut requires vehicle appraisers to hold an active state credential before they can act in insurance appraisals. SecondAppraisal acts through Jonathon A. Thomas, who holds the required Connecticut credential, so when you invoke your policy's appraisal clause we can serve as your appraiser the way Connecticut law expects — and you can verify his credential directly with the state.

Connecticut's total-loss framework is governed by Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-816; Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-353; Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-790 — official source ↗.
