Twice as many cases as the storm last summer
After the storm Hans in August last year, Länsförsäkringar handled 360 cases. Now there are twice as many.

Even the insurance company IF still has a lot of work to do.
– We continue to work on helping the customers who were affected to restore and repair after the amount of water that got in, says claims manager Jenny Rudslätt.
