Quote attributable to ICA CEO Andrew Hall:
To date there have been more than 11,300 claims lodged across Victoria, with more than 9300 property claims and 1590 motor vehicle claims.
The ICA and insurers understand the recent trauma the community has experienced with the flood and encourages Rochester policyholders impacted by the devastating event to come to this ICA hosted event to hear invaluable information that will help people with their claims and the insurance process.
We understand it is difficult for some to attend, and so the ICA has produced an online Virtual townhall which provides general advice and helpful tips to navigate the clean-up, recovery and claims process.
