Missouri’s Insurance Department says it’s recovered more than $5 million in the first half of the year for residents who filed complaints about their insurance companies.
The department has released a quarterly report on complaints and recoveries showing a surge of inquiries about insurance companies following tornadoes in Joplin and St. Louis.
The department says it received more than 8,600 inquiries from insurance customers during the past three months. Of those, 764 were tied to the deadly tornado that struck Joplin in May and 369 were related to a tornado that struck St. Louis in April.
