Here’s how many claims SGI received following Regina’s June 9 hailstorm

Over 10,000 claims have been filed after Regina’s June 9th hailstorm as SGI adjusters work overtime to assess widespread damage. Wayne Mantyka reports.

As Regina residents continue dealing with hail damage caused by an intense storm in the city last week, SGI has been busy dealing with claims.

In an update on Friday, the insurance company said customers filed over 10,000 auto claims and 800 property claims related to the June 9 storm.

Between auto, auto extension, and property claims, SGI estimated the cost of the storm to be over $80 million.

Due to the volume of claims, SGI said wait times for assessments and repairs may be longer than usual, noting that additional resources have been implemented to support customers.

SGI said to help manage the influx of claims, appraisal blitzes will be held at Regina Commercial Claims over the next few weekends. The blitzes will be by appointment only.

Those who still need to file a claim are asked to do so as soon as possible. Auto claims can be filed online, by phone, or in person at any SGI Claims Centre.

For property claims, customers are asked to contact their insurance broker, who will help file the claim. Property claims can also be made online or by calling 1-844-855-2744.

SGI advises customers to also take pictures and video of damage and make sure to clean up safely.
