Hurricane Preparedness 

Welcome to Wayne’s Claims World!

In this series, we share information on claims trends as well as tips and resources for our KBK insureds to better protect themselves if they have a claim. This month, we’re diving into an important and timely topic — hurricane preparedness.

September begins the height of hurricane season. This can be a stressful time for insureds as they brace for intense storms with the potential for flooding and winds that can damage their property and vehicles.

This is especially relevant for tow truck operators, as their trucks may be utilized to tow disabled vehicles out of flooded areas. What’s more, businesses offering repairs or used car sales are likely to store vehicles on their property that may be exposed to the elements and put at risk of damage or loss.

Hurricane preparation is the key to avoiding or minimizing costly claims. Now is the perfect time for agents (and your insureds) to review the important steps to take before, during and after a hurricane — as well as what to do after a loss occurs.

In this issue:

Agents, if your insured suffers damage to their property as a result of a storm, please inform us immediately. Submit claims to our TPA, North American Risk Services (NARS), via email at reportaclaim@narisk.com.
