Insurance Companies Respond Rapidly to Deadly Tornadoes; Claims Filing Process Begins

While it is too soon to tell what the insured losses will be from the tornadoes battering the South and Midwest, already hundreds of homes, businesses and autos have been damaged or destroyed. Insurers, however, have responded quickly, sending adjusters to help disaster victims with their insurance claims, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.). A powerful storm system lashed the Midwest early Wednesday, February 29, producing multiple reports of tornadoes that left 13 dead and hundreds of homes damaged or destroyed across Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois and Tennessee.
