Thursday, June 16th, 2011 — In the days and weeks following April 27ths tornado outbreak, insurance companies have handled thousands of claims statewide. So how do insurance companies determine what properties are a loss and the ones that can be fixed? "We handle every claim on its own merit based on the damage that particular property sustained per the policy. We try to assess what it would take to get you back," said State Farm Insurance Spokesperson David Majors.
