I signed up for supplement life insurance with my company 3 years ago and have been paying for it out of my paycheck, but I received a letter from the insurance company stating they are reviewing my application. I called them and was told I have not been previously enrolled and have not yet been approved, yet my employer has been taking money out of my check since. What legal action can I take and can I sue for punitive damages in this case?

I had a new water main pipe installed from the street into my home. After the installation, I experienced water leaking in the basement due to soil settling and improper sealing around the water main. Despite attempts to fix the issue by the original plumber, I now have a soaked carpet and a damaged TV stand. My homeowners insurance does not cover this, and I do not have flood insurance. Do I have any recourse to claim damages for my carpeting and TV stand, considering this was done under a plumbing policy with my water company?
