RSA Canada receives 200 claims arising from Hurricane Igor

RSA Canada has received approximately 200 claims related to Hurricane Igor, which hit eastern Newfoundland on Sept. 21.
The hurricane cut off power to as many as 50,000 people across the province. Many of the hardest-hit communities were isolated due to significant damage to roads and infrastructure.
Most of the RSA claims are for wind and water damage, the company said in a statement.
RSA has one personal lines broker in Newfoundland, Steers Insurance. RSA says it is working closely with Steers to help customers.
“We have adjusters on the ground in some of the hardest hit communities, including Clarenville,” the company said in its statement. “Two adjusters arrived there on Monday in our Claims Response Vehicle.”
RSA reported that it has secured priority service with “one of the province’s largest contracting firms and are in the process of drying out people’s homes.”
