Hurricane Matthew Guarantees Business Interruption Claims

Property insurers are on high alert as the most powerful Atlantic storm in nearly a decade continues to bear down on the Southeastern United States. Hurricane Matthew slammed into Cuba Tuesday night after leaving a trail of destruction in Haiti, flooding streets, flattening homes and claiming the lives of at least seven people. The powerful Category 4 storm, with sustained winds of 140 mph, showed no signs of weakening as it continued on toward the US, where it is expected to ride the coast from Florida to the Carolinas.
