Insurance claims coming in already

Kentucky insurance carriers have taken thousands of claims as a result of this week’s ice storm, and agents said Friday they expect to hear from more policyholders as power is restored. State Farm, which insures 22 percent of Kentucky homeowners, expects to handle about 6,000 claims statewide. State Farm spokeswoman Lisa Ripley said the worst damage was in the Paducah area, which didn’t have full cell phone and landline service as of Friday.
