Winter Weather Sees Motor Insurance Claims Soar
KENT, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Feb. 4, 2010) - With Britain in the midst of one of the worst winters on record, insurance companies have seen a surge in the amount of claims registered. This is due to accidents which have occurred because of the recent bad weather, according to motor trade insurance brokers Quote Me Today.
Swiftcover, one of the UK's largest providers of car insurance recently reported a 75% increase in claims due to freezing conditions on Britain's roads. The company has dealt with an 'unprecedented' amount of calls in recent weeks, even more than expected in a traditionally busy period. Claims in winter are usually 21% higher than other times of the year, however, the adverse weather we have seen recently has seen this figure increase drastically.
