Pennsylvania joined three other East Coast states telling insurers they cannot impose hurricane deductibles for losses suffered from Superstorm Sandy.
Gov. Tom Corbett issued a statement Thursday telling residents that they will not pay hurricane deductibles on their insurance claims on damage stemming from Sandy.
