Hyundai is recalling more than 41,000 older minivans because the hoods can fly open while they’re being driven. The recall covers the Entourage minivan from the 2007 and 2008 model years.

Georgia victims of Hurricane Matthew have now received over $6.5 million in payouts from the National Flood Insurance Program. There were a total of 1,054 claims filed with the federal flooding program by the time November came to an end.

What makes a claims organization successful? They tend to measure their performance using outcomes-based metrics, employ claim decision support tools such as workflow automation and predictive modeling, and use an “advocacy-based” claims model that puts employees’ needs first.

Federal safety regulators are hoping the fourth time is the charm for millions of recalled dehumidifiers that have now been linked to 450 fires and more than $19 million in property damage: Gree Electric Appliances — the manufacturer fined a record $15.45 million over the fiery dehumidifiers earlier this year — has re-announced the recall.

North Carolina emergency officials have estimated that the destructive and deadly Hurricane Matthew caused $1.5 billion worth of damage to more than 100,000 homes, businesses and government buildings in the state.

Rain-fed waters are still rising in parts of North Carolina, and the governor said storm-related deaths now stand at 20.

Homeowner and auto insurers are dealing with thousands of claims in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. And some policyholders are discovering — or rediscovering — a hard truth: Standard homeowners’ policies typically do not cover flood damage, that is, damage from rising water.

Hurricane Matthew impaired or destroyed more than 1 million structures, forced businesses from Florida to North Carolina to close and put thousands temporarily out of work.
