Get Compensated for Dominion Power Outage

Imagine the cost of an extended Dominion power outage. If you own a business or you work from home, that's lost revenue—especially if you need the power to use the internet. If your refrigeration doesn't work, how much will it take to replace your groceries or temperature-sensitive medication? And let's not forget how injuries can happen in the dark, even when you keep plenty of flashlights handy.

Did you know Dominion Energy might compensate you for losses incurred in a Dominion power outage? Find out how DoNotPay can help you successfully file a claim.

How to Find Out About the Power Outage

The first thing you want to do when the lights go out is to find out if it's just you, or if it's a widespread event. After you've looked out the window and determined your whole block is dark, keeping tabs on the outage is easy if you go to the Dominion power outage map. From here, you can check on the outage's ongoing status and even report the outage if it looks like nobody has done so.

Documenting how you monitor the outage can help you build your case.

How to Get Compensated for a Dominion Power Outage on Your Own

Before you can file a claim for a refund or compensation, you'll need to have certain information to state your case. Here's what to do:

1. Record the date, times, and duration of the power outage.
2. Note whether you reported the outage and what time you made the report.
3. Do an inventory of any lost or damaged items during the outage.

• Refrigerated or frozen food and medication
• Personal injuries
• Electronics
• Lost work or business
• Any other injuries, losses, or damages

4. Make digital and print copies of any damages or injuries.
5. Ask for a doctor's note, and make copies of your itemized medical bills.
6. Have your account information, service address, and billing information handy.
7. Call Dominion Power customer service at 866-DOM-HELP (866-366-4357), Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
8. Either speak to a Dominion Energy customer service agent and state your case, or
9. Ask for the name and business mailing address of the person in charge of making decisions regarding rebates and compensation.
10. If mailing your claim, write a detailed cover letter introducing your evidence and ask for a refund, rebate, or credit, citing an amount that fairly compensates you for your losses.
11. Mail your claim with delivery compensation to the address given by Customer Service, with the name of the appropriate supervisor.

There is an option to submit a complaint through an online Customer Relations form, though there are no options for uploading documents. We feel that a formal letter accompanied by documentation shows you're serious about the claim.

All that sounds like a lot, doesn't it? If you want to skip trips to the post office, time sitting on hold, and the hassle of putting together what might feel like a brief, read on... DoNotPay will make it much easier for you.
