Extreme weather events increase the number of automobile insurance claims, study says Extreme weather events such as violent rain storms and twisters have dramatically increased automobile insurance claims from car owners citing hailstones and rising flood waters, according to a report released Wednesday by Farmers Insurance. Nationwide, claims for hail-related damage increased by 40 percent in the three years of the study, from 2013-2016. Flash flood and rising-water claims increased by a whopping 166 percent last year over the same period in 2013, according to the study. Hail and flood waters have become more ubiquitous elements during the past three years, part of an increase in violent storms in Texas, New Mexico as well as numerous states in the Midwest, South and Pacific Northwest. sgvtribune.com
