Winter Causes Damages
28 Feb 2008
WISCONSIN - The strong winter causes car accidents and claims. Insurences have to deal with problems like ice storms, rain, periods of rapid thawing and freezing.
Compared to last winter, claimes have increased more than 60 percent. The weather situation causes water damage and slip-and-fall injuries. The number of car accidents are steadily rising. "I know for February we are already ahead of the monthly total (for 2007)," said American Family spokesman Steve Witmer. "We had more claims in auto and property by last Friday than we had the entire month of February a year ago.“ The claims, which were caused by the weather situation, are 30 percent higher this year than last January and February.
