Storm damage advice from the ABI
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) is promising a speedy response from its members to policyholders who have suffered damage caused by the high winds hitting Scotland and other parts of the UK.
The trade body confirms that storm damage, such as that caused by high winds, will be covered by home and business property insurance policies and that comprehensive motor insurance will cover damage caused to vehicles
However, people who have suffered damage should:
Contact their insurer as soon as possible for advice and to get the claim moving – most insurers have 24-hour emergency helplines.
If necessary, arrange for any temporary repairs to stop the damage getting worse. Keep receipts, as they will form part of any claim.
Nick Starling, the ABI’s director of general insurance, says: “Insurers expect bad weather to strike and are geared up to dealing with claims for storm damage.
“Their number one priority is to ensure that anyone who suffers damage gets their claim dealt with as quickly as possible.”
