In August, it was found that the amount of non-life insurance payments amounted to more than 21.9 billion yen due to the record heavy rains caused by river floods and sediment-related disasters mainly in western Japan.
According to the summary of the General Insurance Association of Japan, in August, for record heavy rains caused by river floods and landslides mainly in western Japan, non-life insurance claims including fire insurance and vehicle insurance prospects were paid. As of September 3, there were 20,661 cases, amounting to more than 21,935 million yen.
By prefecture,
▽ Saga prefecture is about 10.2 billion yen
▽ Fukuoka prefecture is about 4.9 billion yen.
In addition, regarding disaster-related disasters caused by heavy rains in July, such as a large-scale debris flow that occurred in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, as of September 3, 7611 cases of non-life insurance payments, including prospects, were 7,573 million yen. It's climbing too much.
On the other hand, after such natural disasters, there is a tendency for malicious solicitations to charge fees for claiming insurance claims to increase, so Shinichiro Funabuchi, chairman of the General Insurance Association of Japan, said at a press conference, "Natural disasters occur frequently this year. Therefore, there is concern that the damage caused by such malicious business methods will increase further. Instead of responding to the solicitation of these companies to "use insurance money," consult with a non-life insurance agency or insurance company I want you to do it. "
