SGI claims down compared with 2010

Jul 14, 2011 | 4:45 PM

Stormy weather has insurance claims rolling in to SGI, but not quite as fast as last year.

Kim Hambleton, with SGI, said it has been mostly hail and wind damage. Claims are down compared with 2010, but she points out that could easily change.

“You know how volatile the weather can be in Saskatchewan and there's just no way to predict how things are going to go forward. Certainly, one bad storm can devastate a community. So, as always it’s just a wait-and-see until summer is over,” said Hambleton.

A concern for people filing insurance claims is a possible SGI strike. Hambleton said that could cause delays.
