Catastrophe Event | Texas Storms
It can be challenging for insurers to handle the volume of claims in the wake of a weather catastrophe. In the spring of 2016, Texas was battered by not one, but three of those events. Using knowledge gleaned from prior experience, like Sandy in 2012, IAA was on the scene to assist our insurance partners with the recovery effort. The Catastrophe Event | Texas Storms report discusses our key takeaways, and the steps we take to ensure effective communication and coordination.
Catastrophe Event | Hurricane Matthew
When disasters strike, like Hurricane Matthew did along the southeastern coast of the United States in September 2016, it can be a long, hard struggle to return to normalcy. It’s our goal to help speed up the process and assist wherever possible – not only for the benefit for our partners, but for the communities in need.
