Displaced Victims Living In Tents While Ian Insurance Claims Still Open

"More than six months after Hurricane Ian slammed Southwest Florida, crippling or destroying homes, thousands of residents trying to make repairs have been delayed by extreme insurance-claim problems.

In fact, of 708,255 Ian claims reported to insurance companies, 143,396, or 20.2%, remain ‘open and pending,’ based on the latest estimates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

And prolonged delays — Ian’s monstrous storm goes back to Sept. 28, 2022 — have raised concerns and complaints by consumers.
