The NDI’s Consumer Services and Enforcement Section (“Section”) handles all requests for insurance assistance from the public and strives to help consumers understand their policies, as well as answer any questions they might have about insurance in general.   Through this Section, consumers can also file formal complaints against insurance companies and agents, with the Section acting as a liaison to resolve the problem.  The NDI noted in its announcement today that the Section recovered $4 million from insurers on behalf of Nevadans in 2012.
