According to statistics kept by Swiss Re, the most costly insurance loss in the world in the last thirty-seven years was Hurricane Katrina. In U.S. Dollars, that disaster cost various insurance companies $45 billion dollars. That number not only includes all damage in the United States, but also includes Caribbean countries and damage to property such as oil rigs found in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud estimates the cost of insurance fraud at $80 billion dollars annually. Every year, enough money to rebuild all of the Katrina damage – TWICE - is stolen from insurance companies. Fortunately, Willison Hellman can help.
