Insurance claims filed in response to a major tornado outbreak in May have jumped to 75,758 with insurance payments reaching $687,945,276, the Oklahoma Insurance Department announced.
“The victims of these devastating tornadoes will be dealing with the aftermath for quite a while,” said Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John D. Doak. “The claim filings are slowing down but they’re nowhere near complete. Most policies allow for claims to be turned in up to one year from the date of loss.”
