What the Hail? For Home Insurers, Getting the Roof Right has Never Been more Important
Insurers can mine weather and claims patterns to better assess exposure across geographic regions.
Good imagery, often matched to claims data from other losses, including auto, can give insurers a more accurate picture of likely losses.
Losses from hail are following a volatile, largely upward, path.
Insurers are moving beyond a reliance on drive-by inspections and self-reporting by insurers to get more accurate and faster assessments of roof vulnerabilities.
Satellites, radar and other improving technologies are allowing insurers to assess roofs under a variety of conditions and across time.
