Typhoon 15 Sompo Insurance received more than 180,000 cases on September 19 at 17:21

It has been found that the number of damages and consultations received by non-life insurance companies in Typhoon No. 15 has increased to 180,000.

According to the summary of the Japan General Insurance Association, the number of damages and consultations received by property insurance companies in Typhoon No. 15 was 184,548, as of the 13th of this month.

The breakdown is 161,047 “fire insurance” for damage to houses and household assets, 20,480 “vehicle insurance” for submerging automobiles, and 3021 “injury insurance”.

According to the Japan General Insurance Association, there are many people who have not yet reported any damage, so there is a high possibility that the number of cases will increase in the future.

Insurance claims payments have not been calculated, but the major non-life insurance companies “SOMPO Holdings” and “MS & AD Holdings” have announced that they will each be worth ¥ 100 billion.

“It may be difficult to calculate, but there is a risk of large-scale damage, unlike the previous disasters, such as prolonged blackouts,” said Chairman Shinzo Kanasugi of the Japan General Insurance Association.
