ClaimsPro Emergency Response Teams Gear up to Handle Claims in Midst of Historic Ice Storms

Toronto—ClaimsPro, the country’s largest independent adjusting company, is poised to handle emergency claims in the midst of the historic ice storms in eastern Canada that have left hundreds of thousands of residents without power.

Much of eastern Canada including Quebec, southern Ontario, and major cities like Toronto and Ottawa were hit with a brutal ice storm over the weekend that left city streets coated in a thick layer of ice. In addition to the slippery roads, the storm also brought down large tree branches on cars, homes, and power lines throughout the region.  Environment Canada has forecasted colder temperatures for central Canada over the next several days, meaning the ice is likely here to stay. This system of freezing rain and snow is now moving towards the Maritimes with freezing rain warnings being issued for the region this morning.

ClaimsPro’s Catastrophic Response Teams have been mobilized to provide those affected by the ice storms with emergency claims services. Our expert adjusters in more than 50 ClaimsPro locations across Eastern Canada are on standby to support insurers, brokers, and property owners during this difficult time.

 “We have mobilized our teams from all over the country so that we have the capacity to support our clients during this holiday season,” states Lorri Frederick, Executive Vice President, Operations for ClaimsPro.
