Thursday, September 14th, 2017 — Insurance claims are already pouring in from policyholders with properties damaged by Hurricane Irma. The United States mainland sustained about $18 billion of insured loss, with the majority of damage seen in Florida, followed by Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama, according to catastrophe modelling firm Karen Clark & Co. But the biggest claims of them all — the large corporate claims — could take years to be paid out, said Ken Frenchman, a principal in the insurance recovery litigation practice at McKool Smith.
